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!

God, please save me! Yahweh, come quickly 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.

Humble those who are happy about my troubles/difficulties, and cause them to be disgraced/ashamed. Chase away those who are trying to kill me.

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

I hope/desire that you will cause them to become dismayed and ashamed [because you have defeated them].

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!

[But] I hope/desire that all those who go to [worship] you will be very joyful [DOU]. I want those who love you because you saved them to shout repeatedly [HYP], “God is great!”

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!

As for me, I am poor and needy [DOU]; [so] God, come quickly to help me! Yahweh, you are the one who saves and helps me, [so please] come quickly!
