Sòm 101

1 Yon Sòm David Mwen va chante de lanmou dous avèk jistis. A Ou menm, O SENYÈ, mwen va chante lwanj.

“By David, a psalm.” Of kindness and justice will I sing: unto thee, O Lord, will I sing praises.

2 Mwen va prete atansyon a chemen san repwòch la. Kilè Ou va vini kote mwen? Mwen va mache anndan lakay mwen ak entegrite nan kè m.

I will carefully regard the way of the perfect: oh when will thou come unto me? I will walk in the integrity of my heart in the midst of my house.

3 Mwen p ap mete okenn vye bagay devan zye m. Mwen rayi zèv a (sila) ki chite yo. Sa p ap tache men l sou mwen.

I will not set before my eyes a godless thing; to commit a departure [from righteousness] do I hate; it shall not cleave to me.

4 Yon kè ki pèvès va oblije kite prezans mwen. Mwen p ap aksepte konnen okenn mal.

A perverse heart shall depart from me: evil will I not know.

5 Nenpòt moun ki bay vwazen li kout lang an sekrè, li menm, mwen va detwi. Nenpòt moun ak rega awogan oswa ògèy, mwen p ap sipòte li.

Whoso slandereth in secret his neighbor, him will I destroy: whoso hath proud eyes and a haughty heart, him will I not suffer.

6 Zye m va sou fidèl a peyi a pou yo kab rete avè m. (Sila) ki mache nan chemen san fot la, se li menm ki va sèvitè mwen.

My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may abide with me: he that walketh in the way of the perfect, he it is that shall serve me.

7 (Sila) ki pratike manti p ap rete lakay mwen. (Sila) ki bay manti p ap kenbe pozisyon li devan m.

He that practiseth deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that speaketh falsehoods shall not succeed before my eyes.

8 Chak maten mwen va detwi tout mechan nan peyi yo, Pou m kab koupe retire nan vil SENYÈ a, tout moun ki fè inikite yo.

Every morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land, cutting off from the city of the Lord all the wrong-doers.
