Sòm 138

1 Yon Sòm David Mwen va bay Ou remèsiman avèk tout kè m. Mwen va chante lwanj a Ou devan lòt dye yo.

[By David.] I will give you thanks, Jehovah, with my whole heart. Before the gods I will sing praises to you.

2 Mwen va pwostène mwen vè sen tanp Ou a, e bay remèsiman a non Ou pou lanmou dous Ou ak verite Ou a; Paske Ou te bay glwa a Non ak Pawòl Ou plis ke tout bagay.

I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your word above all.

3 Nan jou ke m te rele Ou a, Ou te reponn mwen. Ou te fè m plen ak kouraj ak fòs nan nanm mwen.

In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

4 Tout wa sou latè yo va ba Ou remèsiman, O SENYÈ, lè yo fin tande pawòl a bouch Ou.

All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Jehovah, for they have heard the words of your mouth.

5 Wi, yo va chante sou chemen SENYÈ a, paske gran se glwa SENYÈ a.

Yes, they will sing of the ways of Jehovah; for great is Jehovah's glory.

6 Paske malgre SENYÈ a egzalte, Li toujou okipe (sila) ki ba yo. Men moun ki ògeye yo, Li rekonèt yo de lwen.

For though Jehovah is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but the proud, he knows from afar.

7 Malgre mwen mache nan mitan gwo twoub, Ou va fè m reprann mwen. Ou va lonje fè parèt men Ou kont kòlè ènmi m yo. Men dwat Ou va sove mwen.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

8 SENYÈ a va akonpli sa ki konsène mwen an. Lanmou dous Ou a, O SENYÈ, se pou tout tan. Pa abandone zèv men Ou yo.

Jehovah will fulfill that which concerns me; your loving kindness, Jehovah, endures forever. Do not forsake the works of your own hands.
