Sòm 146

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

Praise YAH! Praise, O my soul, YHWH.

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 praise YHWH during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.

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

Do not trust in princes—in a son of man, For he has no deliverance.

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

His spirit goes forth, he returns to his earth, In that day his thoughts have perished.

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

O the blessedness of him Who has the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on his God YHWH,

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

Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth for all time,

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

Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.

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

YHWH is loosing the prisoners, YHWH is opening (the eyes of) the blind, YHWH is raising the bowed down, YHWH is loving the righteous,

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

YHWH is preserving the strangers, He causes the fatherless and widow to stand, And He turns the way of the wicked 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!

YHWH reigns for all time, Your God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise YAH!
