19 Ou menm, O SENYÈ, Ou renye jis pou tout tan; twòn Ou se de jenerasyon an jenerasyon.
You O Yahweh for ever you will sit throne your [is] to a generation and a generation.
20 Poukisa Ou bliye nou jis pou tout tan? Poukisa Ou abandone nou jis rive tout tan sa a?
Why? to perpetuity do you forget us do you abandon? us for length of days.
21 Restore nou a Ou menm O SENYÈ, pou nou ka vin restore. Fè jou nou yo vin jan yo te ye nan tan pase yo.
Cause to return us O Yahweh - to yourself (so let us return *Q(K)*) renew days our like ancient time.
22 Men Ou deja fin rejte nou nèt. Ou rete byen fache nèt ak nou.
That except certainly you have rejected us you are angry towards us up to muchness.
