Sòm 113

1 Louwe SENYÈ a! Louwe, O sèvitè a SENYÈ yo, Louwe non SENYÈ a.

Praise ye Jehovah. Praise, O ye servants of Jehovah. Praise the name of Jehovah.

2 Beni se non SENYÈ a, soti nan tan sa a e jis pou tout tan.

Blessed be the name of Jehovah from this time forth and for evermore.

3 Depi solèy leve jiskaske li kouche, non SENYÈ a dwe louwe.

From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same Jehovah's name is to be praised.

4 SENYÈ a wo, anwo tout nasyon yo! Glwa Li pi wo syèl yo!

Jehovah is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.

5 Se kilès ki tankou SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, Ki sou twòn Li anwo a,

Who is like Jehovah our God who has his seat on high,

6 ki abese tèt Li pou gade tout bagay ki nan syèl yo ak sou latè yo?

and yet looks upon the low things in heaven and in the earth.

7 Li fè malere a leve sòti nan pousyè a e leve endijan an sòti nan pil sann nan,

He raises up a poor man out of the dust, and lifts up a needy man from the dunghill,

8 pou fè yo chita avèk prens yo. Menm avèk prens a pèp Li yo.

that he may set him with rulers, even with the rulers of his people.

9 Li fè fanm steril la vin rete nan kay kon yon manman pitit ak kè kontan. Louwe SENYÈ a!

He makes the barren woman to keep house, a joyful mother of sons. Praise ye Jehovah.
