Sòm 123

1 Yon chan pou monte vè tanp lan. A Ou menm, mwen leve zye mwen, O Ou menm ki chita sou twòn Ou nan syèl la!

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. I look up to you, the one who rules from heaven.

2 Men gade, jan zye a sèvitè yo rete sou men a mèt yo, Jan zye a yon sèvant sou men mètrès li, Se konsa, zye nou ye vè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, jiskaske li fè nou gras.

Just as servants look to their master, or a maid looks to her mistress, so we keep our eyes on you, Lord our God, waiting for you to be merciful to us.

3 Bannou gras, O SENYÈ, bannou gras, paske nou ranpli ak mepriz.

Please have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy. We've had enough of people's contempt.

4 Nanm nou ranpli ak ensilt a (sila) ki alèz yo, avèk mepriz a (sila) ki plen ògèy yo.

We've had more than enough of the scorn of the proud, and the contempt of the arrogant.
