Sòm 61

1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se sou enstriman akòd pou yo jwe mizik la. Se yon sòm David. Bondye, tande jan m'ap rele nan pye ou! Koute lè m'ap lapriyè ou!

To the Overseer, on stringed instruments. — By David. Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to my prayer.

2 Kè m' kase, mwen lwen lakay mwen. M'ap rele ou. Tanpri, mennen m' al chache pwoteksyon sou wòch kote mwen pa ka rive a.

From the end of the land unto Thee I call, In the feebleness of my heart, Into a rock higher than I Thou dost lead me.

3 Paske, se ou k'ap pwoteje m', se ou k'ap pran defans mwen kont lènmi m' yo.

For Thou hast been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.

4 Mwen ta renmen pase tout lavi m' lakay ou. Mwen ta renmen rete kache anba zèl ou.

I sojourn in Thy tent to the ages, I trust in the secret place of Thy wings. (Selah)

5 Bondye, ou tande pwomès mwen fè. Ban mwen sa ou bay tout moun ki respekte non ou lan.

For Thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Thy name.

6 Mete kèk jou sou lavi wa a: Se pou l' viv lontan lontan ankò.

Days to the days of the king Thou addest, His years as generation and generation.

7 Se pou l' gouvènen tout tan devan Bondye. Bondye va fè l' wè jan li renmen li, jan li toujou kenbe pawòl li: Bondye va pwoteje l'.

He dwelleth to the age before God, Kindness and truth appoint — they keep him.

8 Konsa, mwen p'ap janm sispann chante pou ou. Chak jou m'a fè sa m' te pwomèt ou a.

So do I praise Thy name for ever, When I pay my vows day by day!
