5 Depi nan gran pwoblèm mwen yo, mwen te rele SENYÈ a; SENYÈ a te reponn mwen e te mete m yon kote byen laj.

I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, [and set me] in a large place.

6 SENYÈ a pou mwen; mwen pa pè. Kisa lòm kab fè m?

The LORD [is] on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

7 SENYÈ a pou mwen pami (sila) ki ede mwen yo; Akoz sa, mwen va gade ak kè kontan (sila) ki rayi mwen yo.

The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see [my desire] upon them that hate me.

8 Li pi bon pou kache nan SENYÈ a, pase pou mete konfyans nan lòm.

[It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

9 Li pi bon pou kache nan SENYÈ a, pase pou mete konfyans nan prens yo.

They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
