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.

I will praise the LORD, as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God, while I have my 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 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 the dust; In that very day his plans 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.

Who 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 judgment for the oppressed; Who giveth food to the hungry. The LORD setteth free 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 up 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 the widow; 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 shall reign for ever; Thy God, O Zion! to all generations! Praise ye the LORD!
