Sòm 23

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

A psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd: I am never in need.

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

He lays me down in green pastures. He gently leads me to waters of rest,

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

he refreshes my life. He guides me along paths that are straight, true to his name.

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.

And when my way lies through a valley of gloom, I fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff 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.

You spread a table for me in face of my foes; with oil you anoint my head, and 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 love will pursue me – all the days of my life. In the house of the Lord I will live through the length of the days.
