Sòm 146

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

Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

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 unto my God while I have any being.

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

Put not your trust in princes, [nor] in the son of man, in whom [there is] no help.

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

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts 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,

Happy [is he] that [hath] the God of Jacob for his help, 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.

Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein [is: ] which keepeth truth for ever:

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

Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

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

The LORD openeth [the eyes of] the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

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

The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

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] thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
