< 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.
I cried to the LORD with my voice; with my voice to the LORD did I make my supplication.
2 Mwen vide plent mwen yo devan L. Mwen deklare pwoblèm mwen yo devan L.
I poured out my complaint before him; I showed before him my trouble.
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 my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then you knew my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privately laid a snare 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 looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
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 cried to you, O LORD: I said, You are my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
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.
Attend to my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
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.”
Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise your name: the righteous shall compass me about; for you shall deal bountifully with me.
