Sòm 113

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

Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord.

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

Let blessing be on the name of the Lord, from this time and for ever.

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

From the coming up of the sun to its going down, the Lord's name is to be praised.

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

The Lord is high over all nations, and his glory is higher than the heavens.

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

Who is like the Lord our God, who is seated on high,

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

Looking down on the heavens, and on the earth?

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

He takes the poor man out of the dust, lifting him up from his low position;

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

To give him a place among the 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 gives the unfertile woman a family, making her a happy mother of children. Give praise to the Lord.
