Sòm 20

1 Pou direktè koral la; Yon sòm David Ke SENYÈ a kapab reponn ou nan jou gran twoub la! Ke non Bondye Jacob la kapab kenbe ou ansekirite an wo!

To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high,

2 Ke Li kapab voye bay ou èd soti nan sanktiyè a, epi bay ou soutyen soti nan Sion.

He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee,

3 Ke Li kapab sonje tout ofrann sereyal ou yo, ke Li twouve tout ofrann brile ou yo byen akseptab!

He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. (Selah)

4 Ke Li kapab bay ou dezi a kè ou, e akonpli tout plan ou yo!

He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.

5 Nou va chante avèk jwa akoz viktwa ou. Nan non Bondye nou an, nou va monte drapo nou yo. Ke SENYÈ a kapab akonpli tout priyè ou yo.

We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.

6 Alò, mwen konnen ke SENYÈ a va delivre moun onksyone pa Li a. Li va reponn li soti nan syèl sen Li an, avèk delivrans pwisan men dwat Li a.

Now I have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.

7 Genyen kèk ki fè konfyans nan cha yo, e kèk nan cheval yo, Men nou va fè konfyans nan non SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.

Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of Jehovah our God Make mention.

8 Yo te pliye e yo te tonbe, men nou te leve e nou te kanpe dwat.

They — they have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.

9 Delivre nou O SENYÈ! Ke Wa a kapab reponn nou nan jou ke nou rele Non Li an.

O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!
