Sòm 97
1 Se Seyè a ki wa! Se pou tout moun ki sou latè fè kè yo kontan! Se pou moun ki nan tout zile yo fè fèt!
The LORD reigneth, let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of isles be glad!
2 Li nan mitan yon gwo nwaj tou nwa. L'ap gouvènen tout bagay avèk jistis, san patipri.
Clouds and darkness are round about him; Justice and equity are the foundation of his throne.
3 Yon dife ap mache devan li. L'ap boule lènmi l' yo tout kote l' pase.
Before him goeth a fire, Which burneth up his enemies around.
4 Kout zèklè li yo klere toupatou. Moun ki sou latè wè sa, yo pran tranble.
His lightnings illumine the world; The earth beholdeth and trembleth.
5 Ti mòn yo fonn tankou lasi devan Seyè a, wi, yo fonn devan chèf tout latè a.
The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 Syèl la fè konnen jan Bondye pa nan patipri, tout pèp yo wè pouvwa li.
The heavens declare his righteousness, And all nations behold his glory.
7 Tout moun k'ap sèvi zidòl yo, yo tout k'ap fè grandizè pou bagay ki pa vo anyen, yo tout gen pou yo wont. Tout bondye yo bese tèt devan li.
Confounded be they who worship graven images, Who glory in idols! To him, all ye gods, bow down!
8 Pèp peyi Siyon an tande sa, li kontan. Tout lavil peyi Jida yo fè fèt pou jan ou jije moun, Seyè!
Zion hath heard, and is glad, And the daughters of Judah exult On account of thy judgments, O LORD!
9 Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa, se ou menm ki sèl chèf sou tout latè, W'ap dominen sou tout bondye yo.
For thou, O LORD! art most high above all the earth; Thou art far exalted above all gods!
10 Seyè a renmen moun ki rayi sa ki mal. Li pwoteje lavi pèp li a, li delivre yo anba men mechan yo.
Ye that love the LORD, hate evil! He preserveth the lives of his servants, And delivereth them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Limyè Bondye klere moun ki mache dwat devan li. Moun ki fe sa ki byen, l'ap fè kè yo kontan.
Light is sown for the righteous, And joy for the upright in heart.
12 Nou tout ki mache dwat devan Bondye, fè kè nou kontan pou sa Seyè a fè pou nou. Di l' mèsi! Li pa tankou tout moun.
Rejoice, O ye righteous, in the LORD, And praise his holy name!
