Sòm 26

1 Yon sòm David Fè m jistis, O SENYÈ, paske mwen te mache nan entegrite mwen. Mwen te mete konfyans mwen nan SENYÈ a san varye.

Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Judge me, Lord, for I have been walking in my innocence, and by hoping in the Lord, I will not be weakened.

2 Chache anndan m, O SENYÈ, e pase mwen a leprèv. Sonde panse mwen avèk kè m.

Examine me, Lord, and test me: enkindle my temperament and my heart.

3 Paske lanmou dous Ou a devan zye m. Mwen te mache nan verite Ou.

For your mercy is before my eyes, and I am serene in your truth.

4 Mwen pa chita avèk mesye k ap twonpe moun yo. Ni mwen pa pale avèk (sila) k ap pran poz yo.

I have not sat with the council of emptiness, and I will not enter with those who carry out injustice.

5 Mwen rayi asanble malfektè yo, e mwen pa chita avèk mechan yo.

I have hated the assembly of the malicious; and I will not sit with the impious.

6 Mwen va lave men m nan inosans, e mwen va antoure lotèl Ou, O SENYÈ,

I will wash my hands among the innocent, and I will surround your altar, O Lord,

7 pou m kapab pwoklame avèk vwa remèsiman a, e deklare tout mèvèy Ou yo.

so that I may hear the voice of your praise and describe all your wonders.

8 O SENYÈ, Mwen renmen abitasyon lakay Ou, avèk kote ke glwa Ou rete a.

O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house and the dwelling place of your glory.

9 Pa retire nanm mwen ansanm avèk pechè yo, ni lavi m avèk mesye ki vèse san yo,

O God, do not let my soul perish with the impious, nor my life with the men of blood,

10 nan men a (sila) ki gen manèv mechan yo, ki nan mechanste pote kado vèse anba tab yo.

in whose hands are iniquities: their right hand has been filled by bribes.

11 Men pou mwen, mwen va mache nan entegrite mwen. Delivre mwen e fè m gras.

But as for me, I have been walking in my innocence. Redeem me, and have mercy on me.

12 Pye m kanpe sou yon plas byen plat. Nan asanble a, mwen va beni SENYÈ a.

My foot has stood firm in the straight path. In the churches, I will bless you, O Lord.
