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.
'The Erring One,' by David, that he sung to Jehovah concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah, my God, in Thee I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me.
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.
Lest he tear as a lion my soul, Rending, and there is no deliverer.
3 Seyè, Bondye mwen, si m' te fè bagay sa yo vre, si m' te fè yon moun mal,
O Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in 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 done my well-wisher evil, And draw mine adversary 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.
An enemy pursueth my soul, and overtaketh, And treadeth down to the earth my life, And my honour placeth in the dust. (Selah)
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.
Rise, O Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast commanded:
7 Sanble tout nasyon yo bò kote ou. Rete nan syèl la, gouvènen yo tout.
And a company of peoples compass Thee, And over it on high turn Thou back,
8 Ou menm Seyè, ou se jij tout moun. Tanpri, Seyè, fè m' jistis paske mwen mache dwat, mwen inonsan.
Jehovah doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on me,
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.
Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.
10 Se Bondye ki defans mwen. Li delivre tout moun ki mache dwat.
My shield [is] on God, Saviour of the upright in heart!
11 Bondye se yon jij ki san patipri: Li toujou kondannen mechan yo.
God [is] a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all times.
12 Si yon moun pa chanje lavi li, Bondye ap file nepe li, l'ap pare banza li pou l' vize li.
If [one] turn not, His sword he sharpeneth, His bow he hath trodden — He prepareth it,
13 Bondye ap pare zam sa yo pou touye li. L'ap sèvi ak flèch li yo pou simen dife.
Yea, for him He hath prepared Instruments of death, His arrows for burning pursuers He maketh.
14 Gade jan mechan an gen move lide nan kè li! L'ap fè plan pou fè moun mal. L'ap plede bay manti.
Lo, he travaileth [with] iniquity, And he hath conceived perverseness, And hath brought forth falsehood.
15 Li fouye yon gwo twou byen fon nan tè a. Lèfini, se li menm ki tonbe ladan li.
A pit he hath prepared, and he diggeth it, And he falleth into a ditch he maketh.
16 Se konsa, malè li te pare pou lòt moun, se sou li li tonbe. Se pwòp mechanste l' ki tounen kont li!
Return doth his perverseness on his head, And on his crown his violence cometh down.
17 Mwen menm, m'ap di Seyè a mèsi pou jistis li. M'ap fè lwanj Seyè a ki anwo nan syèl la.
I thank Jehovah, According to His righteousness, And praise the name of Jehovah Most High!
