Sòm 7
1 Plent David te pote bay Seyè a pou Kouch, moun laras Benjamen. Seyè, Bondye mwen, se nan ou mwen mete tout konfyans mwen. Delivre m'. Pa kite m' tonbe nan men moun k'ap pèsekite m' yo.
A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite. O LORD my God, I take refuge in You; save me and deliver me from all my pursuers,
2 Si se pa sa, tankou lyon yo fè, y'ap pote m' ale, y'ap devore m' san pesonn p'ap ka pote m' sekou.
or they will shred my soul like a lion and tear me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
3 Seyè, Bondye mwen, si m' te fè bagay sa yo vre, si m' te fè yon moun mal,
O LORD my God, if I have done this, if injustice is on my hands,
4 si m' te aji mal ak moun ki te fè m' byen, si m' te pèsekite lènmi m' san rezon,
if I have rewarded my ally with evil, if I have plundered my foe without cause,
5 ou mèt kite lènmi pousib mwen jouk li mete men sou mwen. Ou mèt kite l' mache sou mwen, ou mèt kite l' trennen non m' nan labou.
then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust.
6 Seyè, leve non! Mete ou ankòlè! Leve, pran pozisyon kont lènmi m' yo ki fin debòde. Leve non! vin pote m' sekou, paske se jistis ou m'ap chache.
Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; rise up against the fury of my enemies. Awake, my God, and ordain judgment.
7 Sanble tout nasyon yo bò kote ou. Rete nan syèl la, gouvènen yo tout.
Let the assembled peoples gather around You; take Your seat over them on high.
8 Ou menm Seyè, ou se jij tout moun. Tanpri, Seyè, fè m' jistis paske mwen mache dwat, mwen inonsan.
The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and integrity.
9 Fè mechan yo sispann fè move bagay. Tanpri, bay moun ki mache dwat yo fòs. Ou se yon Bondye ki pa nan patipri: Ou konnen tout lide moun gen nan tèt yo ak tout santiman ki nan kè yo.
Put an end to the evil of the wicked, but establish the righteous, O righteous God who searches hearts and minds.
10 Se Bondye ki defans mwen. Li delivre tout moun ki mache dwat.
My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
11 Bondye se yon jij ki san patipri: Li toujou kondannen mechan yo.
God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.
12 Si yon moun pa chanje lavi li, Bondye ap file nepe li, l'ap pare banza li pou l' vize li.
If one does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung His bow.
13 Bondye ap pare zam sa yo pou touye li. L'ap sèvi ak flèch li yo pou simen dife.
He has prepared His deadly weapons; He ordains His arrows with fire.
14 Gade jan mechan an gen move lide nan kè li! L'ap fè plan pou fè moun mal. L'ap plede bay manti.
Behold, the wicked man travails with evil; he conceives trouble and births falsehood.
15 Li fouye yon gwo twou byen fon nan tè a. Lèfini, se li menm ki tonbe ladan li.
He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; he has fallen into a pit of his own making.
16 Se konsa, malè li te pare pou lòt moun, se sou li li tonbe. Se pwòp mechanste l' ki tounen kont li!
His trouble recoils on himself, and his violence falls on his own head.
17 Mwen menm, m'ap di Seyè a mèsi pou jistis li. M'ap fè lwanj Seyè a ki anwo nan syèl la.
I will thank the LORD for His righteousness and sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
