Sòm 28
1 Yon sòm David A Ou menm, O SENYÈ, mwen rele! Wòch mwen an, pa vin soud devan m, paske si Ou rete silan devan mwen, mwen va devni kon (sila) ki desann nan twou fòs la nèt.
[A Psalm] of David. To you, O Lord, have I cried; my God, be not silent towards me: lest you be silent towards me, and so I should be likened to them that go down to the pit.
2 Tande vwa a siplikasyon mwen yo lè m kriye a Ou menm pou sekou, lè m leve men m vè sanktiyè sen Ou an.
Listen to the voice of my supplication, when I pray to you, when I lift up my hands towards your holy temple.
3 Pa rale m sòti avèk mechan yo, avèk (sila) ki fè inikite yo, ki pale lapè avèk vwazen yo, pandan mechanste nan kè yo.
Draw not away my soul with sinners, and destroy me not with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbours, but evils are in their hearts.
4 Rekonpanse yo selon zèv yo ak selon mechanste yo abitye fè yo. Rekonpanse yo selon zèv men yo. Remèt yo tout rekonpans pa yo.
Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their devices: give them according to the works of their hands; render their recompense to them.
5 Akoz yo pa okipe zèv a SENYÈ yo, ni travay men Li yo. Pou sa, Li va chire yo desann, e Li p ap fè yo remonte.
Because they have not attended to the works of the Lord, even to the works of his hands, you shall pull them down, and shall not build them up.
6 Beni se SENYÈ a, akoz Li te tande vwa a siplikasyon mwen yo.
Blessed be the Lord, for he has listened to the voice of my petition.
7 SENYÈ a se fòs mwen ak boukliye mwen. Kè m mete konfyans nan Li, e mwen jwenn sekou. Pou sa, kè m leve wo nèt. Avèk chanson mwen, mwen va di Li mèsi.
The Lord is my helper and my defender; my heart has hoped in him, and I am helped: my flesh has revived, and willingly will I give praise to him.
8 SENYÈ a se fòs yo. Li se yon defans pou sove onksyone Li yo.
The Lord is the strength of his people, and the saving defender of his anointed.
9 Sove pèp Ou a, e beni eritaj pa Ou a. Devni bèje yo tou, e bay yo soutyen jis pou tout tan.
Save your people, and bless your inheritance: and take care of them, and lift them up for ever.
