Sòm 113

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

Praise Yahweh! You people who serve Yahweh, praise him! Praise (him/his name)!

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

Yahweh should be praised now and forever!

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

People who live in the east and people who live in the west, everyone, should praise Yahweh [MTY]!

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

Yahweh rules [MTY] over all the nations, and high in the heavens he shows that his glory is very great.

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

There is no one [RHQ] who is like Yahweh, our God, who lives/sits/rules in the highest heaven,

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

and looks far down through the heavens and sees the [people on] the earth.

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

[Sometimes] he lifts poor people up [so that they no longer sit in] the dirt; he helps needy [people so that they no longer sit on] heaps of ashes

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

and causes them to [be honored] by sitting next to princes, the sons of the kings [who rule] their people.

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

He also enables women who have no children to have a family; he causes them to be happy mothers. Praise Yahweh!
