Sòm 140

1 Pou direktè koral la; Yon Sòm David Delivre m, O SENYÈ, de moun mechan yo. Delivre m de moun vyolan yo:

To victorie, the salm of Dauith. Lord, delyuere thou me fro an yuel man; delyuere thou me fro a wickid man.

2 ka p fè manèv mechan nan kè yo. Tout tan, y ap fè pwovokasyon pou fè lagè.

Whiche thouyten wickidnesses in the herte; al dai thei ordeyneden batels.

3 Yo file lang yo tankou koulèv. Pwazon a sèpan mòtèl la anba lèv yo. Tan

Thei scharpiden her tungis as serpentis; the venym of snakis vndir the lippis of hem.

4 Kenbe m, O SENYÈ, de men moun mechan yo. Pwoteje m de moun vyolan ki te fè plan pou pye m yo ta tonbe yo.

Lord, kepe thou me fro the hond of the synnere; and delyuere thou me fro wickid men. Which thouyten to disseyue my goyngis;

5 Ògeye yo fin ranje yon pèlen pou mwen. Avèk kòd, yo te ouvri yon pèlen bò wout la. Yo fin plase yon pyèj pou mwen. Tan

proude men hidden a snare to me. And thei leiden forth cordis in to a snare; thei settiden sclaundir to me bisidis the weie.

6 Mwen te di a SENYÈ a: “Se Ou ki Bondye mwen.” Bay zòrèy, O SENYÈ, a vwa a siplikasyon mwen yo.

I seide to the Lord, Thou art mi God; Lord, here thou the vois of my biseching.

7 O BONDYE Senyè a, fòs a sali mwen an, Ou te kouvri tèt mwen nan jou batay la.

Lord, Lord, the vertu of myn heelthe; thou madist schadowe on myn heed in the dai of batel.

8 Pa akonpli, O SENYÈ, dezi a mechan an. Pa pèmèt manèv mechan li yo, pou l pa vin leve wo. Tan

Lord, bitake thou not me fro my desire to the synnere; thei thouyten ayens me, forsake thou not me, lest perauenture thei ben enhaunsid.

9 Epi pou chèf an tèt a (sila) ki antoure mwen yo, pou malveyans a pwòp lèv yo kapab vin kouvri yo.

The heed of the cumpas of hem; the trauel of her lippis schal hile hem.

10 Kite chabon tou limen vin tonbe sou yo. Kite yo jete nan dife, nan fòs fon kote yo p ap kab leve sòti.

Colis schulen falle on hem, thou schalt caste hem doun in to fier; in wretchidnessis thei schulen not stonde.

11 (Sila) ki bay kout lang yo pap vin etabli sou latè. Mal la va kouri vit dèyè moun vyolans lan.

A man a greet ianglere schal not be dressid in erthe; yuels schulen take an vniust man in perisching.

12 Mwen konnen ke SENYÈ a va bay soutyen a aflije yo, e fè jistis pou malere a.

I haue knowe, that the Lord schal make dom of a nedi man; and the veniaunce of pore men.

13 Anverite, moun dwat yo va bay remèsiman a non Ou. Epi moun dwat yo va abite nan prezans Ou.

Netheles iust men schulen knouleche to thi name; and riytful men schulen dwelle with thi cheer.
