Sòm 146

1 Beni SENYÈ a! Beni SENYÈ a, O nanm mwen!

Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. My soul, praise the Lord.

2 Mwen va beni SENYÈ a pandan mwen ap viv. Mwen va chante lwanj a Bondye pa mwen an pandan mwen sou latè a.

While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

3 Pa mete konfyans nan prens yo. Nan lòm mòtèl, nan (sila) nanpwen Sali a.

Trust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety.

4 Lespri li pa rete; li retounen nan tè a. Nan menm jou sa a, panse li yo vin peri.

His breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.

5 A la beni (sila) ki gen sekou nan Bondye Jacob la beni, (sila) ki mete espwa li nan SENYÈ a, Bondye li a,

Blessed is he whose helper is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

6 Ki te fè syèl la avèk tè a, lanmè ak tout sa ki ladann. Ki fidèl jis pou tout tan.

who made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all things in them: who keeps truth for ever:

7 Ki egzekite jistis pou oprime yo. Ki bay manje a moun grangou yo. SENYÈ a mete prizonye yo an libète.

who executes judgement for the wronged: who gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses the fettered ones:

8 SENYÈ a ouvri zye a avèg yo. SENYÈ a leve (sila) ki vin pwostène yo. SENYÈ a renmen moun ladwati yo.

the Lord gives wisdom to the blind: The Lord sets up the broken down: the Lord loves the righteous: the Lord preserves the strangers;

9 SENYÈ a pwoteje etranje yo. Li bay soutyen a òfelen an ak vèv la, men Li jennen wout mechan an.

he will relieve the orphan and widow: but will utterly remove the way of sinners.

10 SENYÈ a va renye jis pou tout tan, Bondye pa Ou a, O Sion, jis pou tout jenerasyon yo. Louwe SENYÈ a!

The Lord shall reign for ever, [even] your God, O Sion, to all generations.
