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 contemplation by David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer.] I cry with my voice to YHWH. With my voice, I ask YHWH for mercy.

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

I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.

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, you knew my path. In the way in which I walk, they have hidden 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.

Look on my right, and see; for there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares 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, YHWH. I said, "You are my refuge, 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.

Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need. Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than 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.”

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will be good to me.
