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.

[By David.] Judge me, Jehovah, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering.

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

Examine me, Jehovah, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

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

For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked 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 deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

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

I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.

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

I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, Jehovah;

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

that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all your wondrous works.

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

Jehovah, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.

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

Do not gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men;

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

in whose hands is wickedness, their right hand is full of bribes.

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

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

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

My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Jehovah.
