Sòm 86
1 Se yon lapriyè David te fè. Seyè, tanpri panche zòrèy ou bò kote m', reponn mwen, paske se yon pòv malere san sekou mwen ye.
A prayer of David. Please listen to me, Lord! Please answer me, for I am weak and really need your help!
2 Pa kite m' mouri, paske mwen fè tou sa ou mande m' fè. Bondye mwen, delivre m' non, paske se ou menm m'ap sèvi, se nan ou menm sèl mwen mete konfyans mwen.
Don't let me die, for I am faithful to you. Save me, for I am your servant and I trust in you. You are my God.
3 Gen pitye pou mwen, Seyè, paske se tout lajounen m'ap kriye nan pye ou!
Be kind to me, Lord, for I call out to you all day long.
4 Fè kè sèvitè ou la kontan, Seyè, paske se ou menm mwen rele lè m'ap lapriyè!
Make me happy, Lord, for I've dedicated my life to you.
5 Seyè, ala bon ou bon! Ou padonnen peche nou yo. Ou p'ap janm sispann renmen moun k'ap rele non ou.
For you, Lord, are good; you are forgiving and full of trustworthy love for all who come to you.
6 Seyè, koute m' non lè m'ap lapriyè! Tande m' non lè m'ap rele mande sekou!
Lord, please listen to my prayer. Hear my call for help.
7 Lè m' nan tray, se ou menm mwen rele, paske ou toujou reponn mwen.
When I'm in trouble I cry out to you because I know you will answer me.
8 Seyè, nan tout bondye yo, pa gen tankou ou! Pa gen yonn ki ka fè sa ou menm ou fè!
There's no one like you among the “gods,” Lord. No one can do the things you do.
9 Tout nasyon ou te fè yo va vin bese tèt devan ou! Y'a fè lwanj ou,
You created all the nations, and they will come and bow down before you, Lord. They will declare how wonderful you are.
10 paske se ou menm, Bondye, ki gen pouvwa, se ou menm ki fè bèl mèvèy sa yo. Se ou menm sèl ki Bondye.
For you are great, and do wonderful things! Only you are God.
11 Seyè, moutre m' jan ou vle m' viv la. M'a toujou obeyi ou nan tout sikonstans. Moutre m' jan pou m' sèvi ou avèk krentif.
Lord, please teach me your way, so I can depend on your trustworthiness. Make me single-minded, so I can consistently honor the kind of person you are.
12 Seyè, Bondye mwen, m'ap fè lwanj ou ak tout kè m', mwen p'ap janm sispann fè konnen jan ou gen pouvwa!
Lord my God, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will praise your character forever.
For your trustworthy love for me is so great; you have saved me from death. (Sheol h7585)
14 Bondye, yon bann awogan leve dèyè m'! Yon kantite mechan soti pou yo touye m'! Yo pa menm chonje si gen Bondye!
God, arrogant people are attacking me, vicious people are trying to kill me. To them you count for nothing.
15 Seyè, ou se yon Bondye ki gen pitye pou nou, yon Bondye ki gen bon kè. Ou pa fasil fè kòlè, ou p'ap janm sispann renmen nou, ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou!
But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to become angry, full of trustworthy love and faithfulness.
16 Voye je ou sou mwen. Gen pitye pou mwen! Ban m' fòs ankò, delivre m', paske mwen se pitit manman m' ki te toujou sèvi ou.
Turn to me, have mercy on me. Give me your strength, your servant; save the son of your servant-girl.
17 Fè kichòy pou mwen, Seyè! Fè moun ki pa vle wè m' yo wont, lè yo wè se ou menm ki pote m' sekou, se ou menm ki ban m' konsolasyon!
Show me a sign that you approve of me! Those who hate me will see it, and they will be ashamed because you, Lord, have helped me.
