Sòm 62
1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Pou Yedoutoun. Se yon chante David. Se sou Bondye sèlman mwen konte, se li menm ki pou delivre mwen.
“For the leader of the music of the Jeduthunites, A psalm of David.” Truly my soul resteth on God alone; From him cometh my deliverance!
2 Se li menm ase k'ap pwoteje m', k'ap delivre m'. Se li ki tout defans mwen. Li p'ap janm kite anyen rive m'.
He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my safeguard, I shall not wholly fall!
3 Kilè n'a sispann tonbe ansanm sou do yon moun pou n' chache lage l' atè tankou yon miray ki tou panche, tankou yon lantouraj k'ap tonbe?
How long will ye continue to assault a single man? How long will ye all seek to destroy me, Like a bending wall, or a tottering fence?
4 Wi, yo pa gen lòt lide nan tèt yo pase fè l' pèdi gwo plas kote li ye a. Yo pran plezi nan bay manti. Yo louvri bouch yo pou mande benediksyon, men nan kè yo, se madichon y'ap bay.
They study how to cast me down from my eminence; They delight in falsehood; They bless with their mouths, but in their hearts they curse.
5 Wi, se sou Bondye ase pou m' konte. Se nan li mwen mete tout espwa mwen.
My soul, rest thou on God alone, For from him cometh my hope!
6 Se li menm sèlman k'ap pwoteje m', k'ap delivre m'. Se li ki tout defans mwen, li p'ap janm kite anyen rive m'.
He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my safeguard, —I shall not fall.
7 Se Bondye k'ap delivre m'. Se li menm k'ap fè yo respekte m'. Se li menm ki tout fòs mwen, l'ap pran defans mwen. Se li menm ki tout pwoteksyon mwen.
From God cometh my help and my glory: My strong rock, my refuge, is God.
8 Nou menm, pèp mwen, toujou mete konfyans nou nan li! Louvri kè nou ba li, paske se li menm ki tout nou.
Trust in him at all times, ye people! Pour out your hearts before him! God is our refuge!
9 Wi, moun pa anyen. Grannèg? Se pawòl nan bouch. Mete yo ansanm nan balans, yo pa gen pèz. Yo pi lejè pase van k'ap soufle a.
Truly men of low degree are vanity, And men of high degree are a lie; Placed in the balance, They are all lighter than vanity.
10 Pa mete konfyans nou nan fè britalite. Pa mete nan tèt nou nou ka genyen anyen nan vòlò. Lè nou wè n'ap fè lajan, pa kite l' pran nanm nou.
Trust not in extortion; Place no vain hopes in rapine! If riches increase, set not your heart upon them!
11 An de fwa, men sa m' tande Bondye di: -Se nan men m' pouvwa rete.
Once hath God promised, twice have I heard it, That power belongeth unto God.
12 Wi, Seyè, ou gen bon kè, paske w'ap bay chak moun sa yo merite dapre sa yo fè.
To thee also, O Lord! belongeth mercy; For thou dost render to every man according to his work!
