Sòm 24

1 Yon sòm David Tè a se pou SENYÈ a, avèk tout sa ki ladann; lemonn avèk tout (sila) ki rete ladann yo.

“A psalm of David.” The earth is the LORD'S, and all that is therein; The world, and they who inhabit it.

2 Li te fonde li sou lanmè yo, e te etabli li sou rivyè yo.

For he hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the floods.

3 Se kilès ki kab monte sou kolin SENYÈ a? Epi kilès ki kab kanpe nan lye sen pa Li an?

Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? And who shall stand in his holy place?

4 (Sila) ki gen men pwòp avèk yon kè ki san tach, ki pa leve nanm li vè sa ki fo, ni ki pa fè fo temwayaj.

He that hath clean hands and a pure heart; Who hath not inclined his soul to falsehood, Nor sworn deceitfully.

5 Li va resevwa yon benediksyon soti nan SENYÈ a, ak ladwati soti nan Bondye delivrans li an.

He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, And favor from the God of his salvation.

6 Sa se jenerasyon a (sila) k ap chache Li yo, ka p chache figi Ou—menm Jacob. Tan

This is the race of them that seek him; They that seek thy face are Jacob. (Pause)

7 Leve wo lento ou yo, o pòtay yo! Leve wo, o pòt ansyen yo! Pou Wa glwa la kapab antre!

Lift up your heads, O ye gates! Lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, That the king of glory may come in!

8 Se kilès ki Wa a glwa a? SENYÈ fò e pwisan an, SENYÈ a pwisan nan batay la.

“Who is this king of glory?” Jehovah, strong and mighty; Jehovah, mighty in battle.

9 Leve wo lento ou yo, O Pòtay yo! Leve wo, O pòt ansyen yo! Pou Wa glwa la kapab antre!

Lift up your heads, O ye gates! Lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, That the king of glory may enter in!

10 Se kilès ki Wa glwa a? SENYÈ dèzame yo! Se Li menm ki Wa glwa a. Tan.

“Who is this king of glory?” Jehovah, God of hosts, he is the king of glory. (Pause)
