Sòm 142

1 Yon Sòm Refleksyon pa David lè l te nan kav la. Yon lapriyè Mwen kriye fò avèk vwa mwen vè SENYÈ a. Ak vwa m, mwen fè siplikasyon a SENYÈ a pou m mande L mizerikòd.

A maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A prayer. I call out to the Lord for help; pleading with the Lord for mercy.

2 Mwen vide plent mwen yo devan L. Mwen deklare pwoblèm mwen yo devan L.

I pour out my complaints before him; I tell him what's troubling me.

3 Lè lespri m te fin bat anndan m, Ou te konnen chemen mwen. Nan wout kote m mache a, yo te sere yon pyèj pou mwen.

When I'm totally discouraged, you know the direction I should take. But whichever way I go, people set traps for me.

4 Gade adwat pou wè. Nanpwen moun ki veye pou mwen. Nanpwen moun ki pou fè m chape. Nanpwen moun ki pou pran swen m.

I look to my right for someone to support me—but no one pays me any attention. There's no safe place for me—no one cares about me at all.

5 Mwen te kriye a Ou menm, O SENYÈ. Mwen te di “Se Ou menm ki sekou mwen, pòsyon mwen nan peyi moun vivan yo.”

I cry out to you, Lord, for help, saying, “You are the one who keeps me safe; you are all I need in life.

6 “Prete atansyon a kri mwen yo, paske mwen vin desann ba nèt. Delivre mwen nan men pèsekitè mwen yo, paske yo twò fò pou mwen.

Please listen to my sad cry, for I'm feeling very low. Please save me from those who are after me, for they're too strong for me.

7 Mennen nanm mwen sòti nan prizon, pou m kab bay remèsiman a non Ou. Moun ladwati mwen yo va antoure mwen, paske Ou va aji nan bonte Ou anvè mwen.”

Release me from my prison so I can praise you for the person you are! Those who live right will gather round me because you have treated me so well.”
