Sòm 13

1 Pou direktè koral la; yon sòm David Jiskilè SENYÈ? Èske Ou ap bliye mwen jis pou tout tan? Pou konbyen de tan, Ou va kache figi Ou de mwen?

For the end, a Psalm of David. How long, O Lord, will you forget me? for ever? how long will you turn away your face from me?

2 Pou konbyen de tan mwen va oblije depann sou pwòp konsèy tèt mwen, ak tristès nan kè m tout lajounen? Jiskilè lènmi m va vin leve wo sou mwen?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrows in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

3 Okipe m, e reponn mwen, O SENYÈ, Bondye mwen; Fè zye m wè, pou m pa mouri;

Look on me, listen to me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death;

4 pou lènmi mwen an pa di: “Mwen fin genyen l,” epi advèsè mwen yo rejwi lè m pran chòk.

lest at any time mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him: my persecutors will exult if ever I should be moved.

5 Men mwen va mete konfyans mwen nan lanmou dous Ou a; Kè m va rejwi nan delivrans ou

But I have hoped in your mercy; my heart shall exult in your salvation.

6 Mwen va chante a SENYÈ a, paske Li te aji ak bon kè avè m.

I will sing to the Lord who has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord most high.
