Sòm 16
1 Yon Sòm David Pwoteje m O Bondye, paske mwen kache nan Ou.
A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.
2 Mwen te di a SENYÈ, Ou se Senyè mwen. Mwen pa gen anyen ki bon sof ke Ou menm.
Thou hast said to Jehovah, 'My Lord Thou [art];' My good [is] not for thine own sake;
3 Selon sen sou latè yo, se moun manyifik yo ye; sou yo menm mwen pran tout plezi m yo.
For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honourable, all my delight [is] in them.
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.
Multiplied are their griefs, [Who] have hastened backward; I pour not out their libations of blood, Nor do I take up 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.
Jehovah [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou — Thou dost uphold my lot.
6 Lizyè yo vin tonbe nan kote ki tèlman bèl pou mwen. Anverite, eritaj mwen bèl pou mwen.
Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance [is] for me.
7 Mwen va beni SENYÈ a ki te ban m konsèy la. Anverite, panse mwen toujou vin enstwi mwen pandan lannwit.
I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
8 Mwen te mete SENYÈ a devan zye m tout tan. Akoz Li se men dwat mwen, mwen p ap ebranle menm.
I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because — at my right hand I am not moved.
9 Pou sa, kè m kontan e glwa mwen fè rejwisans. Anplis, chè m va toujou pwoteje.
Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently:
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 Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption. (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.
Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys [is] with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!
