Sòm 84
1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se sou lè yon chante yo chante lè y'ap kraze rezen. Se yon sòm pitit Kore yo. Ala bèl kay ou a bèl, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa!
For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. How lovely are your dwellings, LORD of Armies!
2 Jan mwen anvi wè kay Seyè a sa! M'ap deperi sitèlman m' anvi al lakay Seyè a. M'ap chante, m'ap fè fèt pou Bondye vivan an.
My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of the LORD. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3 Menm ti zwezo jwenn kote pou yo rete, menm iwondèl jwenn nich pou mete pitit yo: Se toupre lotèl ou yo, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa, ou menm ki Bondye mwen, ou menm ki wa mwen!
Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, LORD of Armies, my King, and my God.
4 Ala bon sa bon pou moun k'ap viv lakay ou yo! Yo toujou ap fè lwanj ou.
Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you. (Selah)
5 Ala bon sa bon pou moun ki mete konfyans yo nan ou, pou moun ki fè lide ale sou Mòn Siyon an!
Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.
6 Lè y'ap pase nan mitan Fon Sèk la, yo fè l' tounen yon kote ki plen sous dlo. Anvan yon ti lapli tonbe, tout jaden bèl.
Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.
7 Plis y'ap mache, se plis y'ap gen fòs. Yo gen pou yo parèt devan Bondye sou mòn Siyon an.
They go from strength to strength. Every one of them appears before God in Zion.
8 Seyè, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, koute lapriyè mwen. Bondye Jakòb la, panche zòrèy ou pou tande m'.
LORD, God of Armies, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Bondye, ou menm ki tout pwoteksyon nou, voye benediksyon ou sou wa ou te chwazi pou nou an!
Behold, God our shield, look at the face of your anointed.
10 Yon jou pase anndan lakay ou pi bon pase mil jou pase nenpòt lòt kote. Mwen ta pito rete kanpe nan papòt kay Bondye a pase pou m' ta rete anndan kay mechan yo.
For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 Paske, se Seyè a ki tout defans mwen, se li menm k'ap pwoteje nou. L'ap ban nou favè li, l'ap fè yo respekte nou. Lè yon moun ap mennen yon vi ki san repwòch, Bondye p'ap janm refize l' okenn bon bagay.
For the LORD God is a sun and a shield. The LORD will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
12 Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa, ala bon sa bon pou moun ki mete konfyans yo nan ou!
LORD of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
