Sòm 143
1 Yon Sòm David Tande lapriyè mwen, O SENYÈ. Prete zòrèy Ou a siplikasyon mwen yo. Nan fidelite Ou, reponn mwen, ak ladwati Ou!
Hear, O Lord, my prayer: give ear to my supplication in thy truth: hear me in thy justice.
2 Konsa, pa antre nan jijman avèk sèvitè Ou a, paske nan zye Ou, nanpwen moun vivan ki jis.
And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.
3 Paske lènmi an te pèsekite nanm mwen. Li fin kraze lavi m jis rive atè. Li te fè m rete kote fènwa, tankou (sila) ki mouri lontan yo.
For the enemy hath persecuted my soul: he hath brought down my life to the earth. He hath made me to dwell in darkness as those that have been dead of old:
4 Pou sa, lespri m kraze nèt anndan m. Kè m nan gwo twoub anndan m.
And my spirit is in anguish within me: my heart within me is troubled.
5 Mwen sonje ansyen jou yo. Mwen reflechi tout tan sou tout sa Ou te fè. Mwen panse sou zèv men Ou yo.
I remembered the days of old, I meditated on all thy works: I meditated upon the works of thy hands.
6 Mwen lonje men m vè Ou menm. Nanm mwen fè gwo anvi pou Ou, kon yon peyi deseche.
I stretched forth my hands to thee: my soul is as earth without water unto thee.
7 Reponn mwen vit, O SENYÈ, lespri m vin febli; Pa kache figi Ou sou mwen, oswa mwen va vini kon (sila) ki desann nan fòs yo.
Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit hath fainted away. Turn not away thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
8 Kite mwen tande lanmou dous Ou a nan granmmaten, paske mwen mete konfyans mwen nan Ou. Enstwi mwen nan chemen ke m ta dwe mache a, paske se a Ou ke mwen leve nanm mwen.
Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning; for in thee have I hoped. Make the way known to me, wherein I should walk: for I have lifted up my soul to thee.
9 Delivre mwen, O SENYÈ, de lènmi mwen yo. Mwen kache nan Ou.
Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord, to thee have I fled:
10 Enstwi mwen pou fè volonte Ou, paske se Ou menm ki Bondye mwen. Lespri Ou bon. Kondwi mwen sou tèren ladwati a.
Teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God. Thy good spirit shall lead me into the right land:
11 Pou koz a non Ou, O SENYÈ, fè m reprann fòs mwen. Nan ladwati Ou, mennen nanm mwen sòti nan gwo twoub la.
For thy name’s sake, O Lord, thou wilt quicken me in thy justice. Thou wilt bring my soul out of trouble:
12 Epi nan lanmou dous Ou a, fè lennmi m yo koupe retire nèt. Detwi tout (sila) ki aflije nanm mwen yo, paske mwen se sèvitè Ou.
And in thy mercy thou wilt destroy my enemies. And thou wilt cut off all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
