Sòm 113

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

Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.

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

Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.

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

From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.

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

The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is above the heavens.

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

Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,

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 on the earth:

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

who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;

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

to set him with princes, [even] with the princes of his people:

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

who settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.
