Sòm 8

1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se sou lè chante yo chante lè y'ap kraze rezen. Se yon sòm David. Seyè, Mèt nou, se toupatou sou latè yo rekonèt jan ou gen pouvwa! Pouvwa ou moute pi wo pase syèl la!

To him that excelleth on Gittith. A Psalme of Dauid. O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy Name in all the worlde! which hast set thy glory aboue the heauens.

2 Ou fè timoun piti ak tibebe nan tete chante jan ou gen fòs, pou ou koresponn ak moun ki pa vle wè ou yo, pou ou fèmen bouch lènmi ou yo ak moun k'ap kenbe tèt avè ou yo.

Out of the mouth of babes and suckelings hast thou ordeined strength, because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemie and the auenger.

3 Lè m'ap gade syèl ou fè ak men ou lan, lalin ak zetwal ou mete ladan li,

When I beholde thine heauens, euen the workes of thy fingers, the moone and the starres which thou hast ordeined,

4 m'ap mande: -Kisa lèzòm ye pou ou chonje yo konsa? Kisa yo ye menm pou ou pran ka yo konsa?

What is man, say I, that thou art mindefull of him? and the sonne of man, that thou visitest him?

5 Ou fè yo yon ti kras pi piti pase ou, Bondye. Tankou yon kouwòn sou tèt yo, ou ba yo pouvwa ak respè.

For thou hast made him a little lower then God, and crowned him with glory and worship.

6 Ou mete yo pou yo donminen sou tou sa ou fè, ou mete tout bagay anba pye yo:

Thou hast made him to haue dominion in the workes of thine hands: thou hast put all things vnder his feete:

7 Bèf kou kabrit, ansanm ak tout bèt nan bwa yo,

All sheepe and oxen: yea, and the beastes of the fielde:

8 zwazo nan syèl, pwason nan dlo, ansanm ak tout lòt bèt k'ap viv nan lanmè.

The foules of the ayre, and the fish of the sea, and that which passeth through the paths of the seas.

9 Seyè, Mèt nou, se toupatou sou latè yo rekonèt jan ou gen pouvwa!

O Lord our Lord, howe excellent is thy Name in all the world!
