< 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.
A psalm of David. I will give you thanks 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 covenant faithfulness and for your trustworthiness. You have made your word and your name more important than anything else.
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.
On the day that I called you, you answered me; you made me bold and strengthened 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, Yahweh, for they will hear the words from your mouth.
5 Wi, yo va chante sou chemen SENYÈ a, paske gran se glwa SENYÈ a.
Indeed, they will sing of the deeds of Yahweh, for great is the glory of Yahweh.
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 Yahweh is high, yet he cares for the lowly, but the proud he knows from far off.
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 middle of danger, you will preserve my life; you will reach out with your hand against the anger of my enemies, and 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.
Yahweh is with me to the end; your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, endures forever. Do not forsake the ones whom your hands have made.
