Sòm 146

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

Hallelujah. Praise, O my soul, 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.

I will praise the Lord throughout my life: 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, in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

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

When his spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his [native] earth: on that very day perish his thoughts.

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

[But] happy is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is on 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 hath made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that is therein; who 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.

Who executeth justice for the oppressed: who giveth bread to the hungry: the Lord looseneth 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 causeth the blind to see; the Lord raiseth up those who 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 guardeth the strangers; the fatherless and widow he helpeth up; but the way of the wicked he maketh crooked.

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 will reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelujah.
