Sòm 23

1 Yon sòm David Bondye se bèje mwen; mwen p ap janm manke anyen.

Jehovah is my shepherd, I shall not want.

2 Li fè m kouche nan patiraj vèt yo. Li mennen m akote dlo pezib yo.

He makes me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

3 Li restore nanm mwen. Li gide mwen nan chemen ladwati yo, akoz non sen Li an.

He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Malgre mwen ta mache nan vale lonbraj lanmò a, mwen p ap pè okenn mal, paske Ou avè m. Baton Ou avèk kwòk Ou fè m gen konfyans.

Yea, tho I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou are with me, thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

5 Ou ranje yon tab devan mwen nan prezans lènmi mwen yo. Ou onksyone tèt mwen avèk lwil. Tas mwen fin debòde nèt.

Thou prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. Thou have anointed my head with oil. My cup runs over.

6 Anverite, bonte Ou avèk lanmou dous Ou va swiv mwen pou tout jou lavi mwen yo, E mwen va viv lakay SENYÈ a jis pou tout tan.

Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah forever.
