Sòm 70

1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Pou Bondye pa bliye nou. Delivre m' non, Bondye! Prese vin pote m' sekou, Seyè!

Unto the end, a psalm for David, to bring to remembrance that the Lord saved him. O God, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to help me.

2 Moun k'ap chache touye m' yo, se pou yo wont, se pou yo pa ka leve tèt yo. Moun ki anvi wè malè rive mwen, se pou yo renka kò yo, se pou yo wont.

Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul:

3 Moun k'ap lonje dwèt sou mwen yo, se pou sezisman pran yo sitèlman yo wont.

Let them be turned backward, and blush for shame that desire evils to me: Let them be presently turned away blushing for shame that say to me: Tis well, tis well.

4 Men, tout moun ki vin jwenn ou, se pou yo kontan, se pou yo fè fèt. Tout moun ki renmen jan ou delivre yo a, se tout tan pou yo di: Bondye gen gwo pouvwa!

Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.

5 Pou mwen menm, se yon pòv malere san sekou mwen ye. Men ou menm, prese vin delivre m'! Se ou ki tout sekou mwen, se ou ki tout delivrans mwen. Prese non, Seyè!

But I am needy and poor; O God, help me. Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, make no delay.
