Sòm 6

1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se sou enstriman akòd pou yo jwe mizik la. Sou wityèm lan. Se yon sòm David. Seyè, pa pini m' lè ou fache! Pa kale m' lè ou an kòlè!

TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS, ON THE EIGHTH. A PSALM OF DAVID. O YHWH, do not reprove me in Your anger, Nor discipline me in Your fury.

2 Gen pitye pou mwen, Seyè, paske mwen santi m' san fòs. Geri mwen, Seyè, paske m'ap deperi.

Favor me, O YHWH, for I [am] weak, Heal me, O YHWH, For my bones have been troubled,

3 Lespri m' boulvèse anpil, Seyè. Pou konbe tan bagay sa a la ankò?

And my soul has been troubled greatly, And You, O YHWH, until when?

4 Tounen vin delivre m' non, Seyè! Jan ou gen kè sansib sa a, pa kite m' mouri.

Turn back, O YHWH, draw out my soul, Save me for Your kindness’ sake.

5 Paske, lè yon moun mouri li pa chonje ou ankò. Pesonn pa fè lwanj ou kote mò yo ye a. (Sheol h7585)

For in death there is no memorial of You, In Sheol, who gives thanks to You? (Sheol h7585)

6 Se fini m'ap fini afòs m'ap kriye. Lannwit, kabann mwen mouye nèt afòs jè m' kouri dlo.

I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate [on] my bed through all the night, I dissolve my couch with my tear.

7 Figi m' fin rale afòs mwen gen lapenn. Mwen fin vye anba moun k'ap pèsekite m' yo.

My eye is old from provocation, It is old because of all my adversaries,

8 Wete kò nou sou mwen, nou tout k'ap fè sa ki mal, paske Seyè a tande lè m'ap kriye.

Turn from me all you workers of iniquity, For YHWH heard the voice of my weeping,

9 Li tande m' lè m'ap rele nan pye li. Li reponn mwen lè m'ap lapriyè li.

YHWH has heard my supplication, YHWH receives my prayer.

10 Tout lènmi m' yo pral wont, y'ap pè. Se vre wi. Y'ap kouri fè bak. Y'ap rete konsa lawont ap pran yo.

All my enemies are greatly ashamed and troubled, They turn back—ashamed [in] a moment!
