Sòm 101

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

David’s. A Melody. Of lovingkindness and of justice, will I sing! Unto thee, O Yahweh, will I touch the strings!

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 behave myself wisely in a blameless way, When wilt thou come in unto me? I will walk to and fro in the blamelessness 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 mine eyes, a vile thing, —The doing of them who fall away, I hate, It shall not cleave unto 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, A maker of mischief, will I not acknowledge;

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.

He that uttereth slander in secret against his friend, him, will I root out; One of lofty eyes, and of an ambitious heart, him shall I not be able to endure.

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.

Mine eyes, shall be upon the faithful of the land, That they may dwell with me, —he that walketh in a blameless way, he, shall attend me.

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

There shall not dwell in the midst of my house, One who worketh deceit, —he that speaketh falsehoods, shall not be established before mine 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.

Morning by morning, will I uproot, All the lawless ones of the land, That I may cut off, out of the city of Yahweh—All the workers of iniquity.
