Sòm 16
1 Yon Sòm David Pwoteje m O Bondye, paske mwen kache nan Ou.
Michtam. Of David. Keep me safe, O God: for in you I have put my faith.
2 Mwen te di a SENYÈ, Ou se Senyè mwen. Mwen pa gen anyen ki bon sof ke Ou menm.
O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.
3 Selon sen sou latè yo, se moun manyifik yo ye; sou yo menm mwen pran tout plezi m yo.
As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight.
4 Doulè a (sila) ki te fè donn a yon lòt dye va vin ogmante; Mwen p ap vin vide ofrann bwason san pa yo, ni non yo p ap sòti sou lèv mwen.
Their sorrows will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on my lips.
5 SENYÈ a se pòsyon eritaj mwen ak tas mwen; Se Ou menm ki bay soutyen a pati pa m nan.
The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.
6 Lizyè yo vin tonbe nan kote ki tèlman bèl pou mwen. Anverite, eritaj mwen bèl pou mwen.
Fair are the places marked out for me; I have a noble heritage.
7 Mwen va beni SENYÈ a ki te ban m konsèy la. Anverite, panse mwen toujou vin enstwi mwen pandan lannwit.
I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night.
8 Mwen te mete SENYÈ a devan zye m tout tan. Akoz Li se men dwat mwen, mwen p ap ebranle menm.
I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.
9 Pou sa, kè m kontan e glwa mwen fè rejwisans. Anplis, chè m va toujou pwoteje.
Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope.
10 Paske Ou p ap abandone nanm mwen nan sejou mò yo; ni Ou p ap pèmèt (Sila) Ki Sen Ou an vin tonbe an pouriti. (Sheol h7585)
For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death. (Sheol h7585)
11 Ou va fè m rekonèt chemen lavi a. Nan prezans Ou, se lajwa ki an abondans nèt. Nan men dwat Ou, se plezi ki dire jis pou tout tan.
You will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever.
