Sòm 108

1 Yon chan. Yon Sòm David Kè m fèm, O Bondye; mwen va chante. Mwen va chante lwanj ou, menm avèk tout nanm mwen.

My heart is steadfast, God. I will sing zahmar ·musical praise· and I will give kavod ·weighty glory·.

2 Fè leve ap avèk lir! Mwen va fè leve solèy la!

Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn.

3 Mwen va bay remèsiman a Ou menm, O SENYÈ, pami pèp yo. Mwen va chante lwanj a Ou pami nasyon yo.

I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you, Adonai, among the nations. I will sing zahmar ·musical praise· to you among the peoples.

4 Paske lanmou dous Ou a gran pase syèl yo, e verite Ou rive jis nan syèl yo.

For your chesed ·loving-kindness· is great above the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

5 Leve wo, O Bondye, anwo syèl yo ak glwa Ou anwo tout tè a.

Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your kavod ·weighty glory· be over all the earth.

6 Pou (sila) ke Ou tèlman renmen an, kapab delivre. Sove avèk men dwat Ou e reponn mwen!

That your yadid ·beloved· may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.

7 Bondye te pale nan sentete Li a: “Mwen va leve wo, Mwen va divize Sichem, e mezire tout vale Succoth la.

God has spoken from his sanctuary: “In triumph, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Sukkot.

8 Galaad se pou Mwen. Manassé se pa M. Ephraïm se kas sou tèt Mwen. Juda se baton wayal Mwen.

Gilead is mine. Manasseh [Causing to forget] is mine. Ephraim [Fruit] also is my helmet. Judah [Praised] is my scepter.

9 Moab se basen lesiv Mwen. Sou Edom, Mwen va jete soulye M. Sou Philistie, Mwen va rele byen fò.”

Moab [From father] is my wash pot. I will toss my sandal on Edom [Red]. I will shout over Philistia.”

10 Se kilès ki va mennen M antre nan vil fòtifye a? Kilès ki va mennen M Edom?

Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom [Red]?

11 Se pa ke Ou, Ou menm, O Bondye, te rejte nou an? Èske Ou p ap sòti avèk lame nou yo, O Bondye?

Haven’t you rejected us, God? You don’t go out, God, with our armies.

12 O bannou sekou kont advèsè a, paske delivrans a lòm se anven.

Give us help against the enemy, for the help of man is vain.

13 Avèk Bondye, nou va fè zèv vanyan. Se Li menm ki va foule advèsè nou yo anba pye L.

Through God, we will do valiantly. For it is he who will tread down our enemies.
