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!

For the end, concerning the wine presses, a Psalm of David. O Lord, our Lord, how wonderful is your name in all the earth! for your magnificence is exalted above the heavens.

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 sucklings have you perfected praise, because of your enemies; that you might put down the enemy and avenger.

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

For I will regard the heavens, the work of your fingers; the moon and stars, which you have established.

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, that you are mindful of him? or the son of man, that you visit 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.

You made him a little less than angels, you have crowned him with glory and honor;

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

and you have set him over the works of your hands: you have put all things under his feet:

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

sheep and all oxen, yes and the cattle of the field;

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

the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, the [creatures] passing through the paths of the sea.

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

O Lord our Lord, how wonderful is your name in all the earth!
