Sòm 31
1 Yon Sòm David Nan Ou menm, SENYÈ, mwen kache. Pa janm kite mwen vin wont. Nan ladwati Ou, delivre mwen.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; save me by Your righteousness.
2 Panche zòrèy W bò kote mwen. Delivre mwen byen vit. Devni pou mwen wòch ki ban m fòs, yon sitadèl ki pou sove m.
Incline Your ear to me; come quickly to my rescue. Be my rock of refuge, the stronghold of my deliverance.
3 Paske Ou se wòch mwen ak sitadèl mwen, konsa, pou koz a non Ou, Ou va gide mwen.
For You are my rock and my fortress; lead me and guide me for the sake of Your name.
4 Ou va rale m sòti nan filè ke yo te prepare an sekrè pou mwen an, paske se Ou ki fòs mwen.
You free me from the net laid out for me, for You are my refuge.
5 Nan men Ou, mwen mete lespri mwen. Ou te rachte m, O SENYÈ, Bondye verite a.
Into Your hands I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD, God of truth.
6 Mwen rayi (sila) ki fè rega a fo zidòl yo, men nan Bondye, mwen mete konfyans mwen.
I hate those who cling to worthless idols, but in the LORD I trust.
7 Mwen va rejwi e fè kè kontan nan lanmou dous Ou, akoz Ou te wè soufrans mwen. Ou te wè soufrans a nanm mwen.
I will be glad and rejoice in Your loving devotion, for You have seen my affliction; You have known the anguish of my soul.
8 Ou pa t lage mwen nan men a lènmi an. Ou te mete pye mwen nan yon kote byen laj.
You have not delivered me to the enemy; You have set my feet in the open.
9 Fè m gras, O SENYÈ, paske mwen nan gwo twoub. Zye m ak kò m ak nanm mwen; tout fin gate nèt akoz doulè m.
Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes fail from sorrow, my soul and body as well.
10 Paske lavi m fin pase nèt ak gwo doulè m, ane mwen yo avèk soupi. Fòs mwen fin ale akoz inikite m. Kò mwen fin epwize.
For my life is consumed with grief and my years with groaning; my iniquity has drained my strength, and my bones are wasting away.
11 Akoz tout advèsè mwen yo, mwen te devni yon objè abominab, sitou a vwazen mwen yo, e yon objè laperèz a (sila) ki rekonèt mwen yo. (Sila) ki wè m nan lari yo sove ale devan m.
Among all my enemies I am a disgrace, and among my neighbors even more. I am dreaded by my friends— they flee when they see me on the street.
12 Mwen fin bliye tankou yon moun mouri, disparèt nan panse moun. Mwen tankou yon veso ki fin kraze.
I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind. I am like a broken vessel.
13 Paske mwen konn tande kout lang anpil moun, laperèz toupatou. Yo pran konsèy ansanm kont mwen. Yo te fè konplo pou rache lavi m.
For I hear the slander of many; there is terror on every side. They conspire against me and plot to take my life.
14 Men pou mwen, mwen mete konfyans nan Ou, O SENYÈ. Mwen di: “Se Ou menm ki Bondye mwen”.
But I trust in You, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.”
15 Moman mwen yo nan men Ou. Delivre mwen nan men a lènmi mwen yo, avèk (sila) ki pèsekite mwen yo.
My times are in Your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me.
16 Fè limyè figi Ou vin parèt sou sèvitè Ou a. Sove mwen nan lanmou dous Ou a.
Make Your face shine on Your servant; save me by Your loving devotion.
O LORD, let me not be ashamed, for I have called on You. Let the wicked be put to shame; let them lie silent in Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
18 Kite lèv ki manti yo sispann, (sila) yo ka p pale ak awogans kont moun dwat yo, k ap fè ògèy pou desann moun.
May lying lips be silenced— lips that speak with arrogance against the righteous, full of pride and contempt.
19 Men a la gran, bonte ke Ou te konsève pou (sila) ki krent Ou yo, ke Ou te fòje pou (sila) ki kache nan Ou yo, devan fis a lòm yo!
How great is Your goodness which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have bestowed before the sons of men on those who take refuge in You!
20 Ou kache yo nan kote sekrè a prezans Ou, kont tout manèv a lòm. Ou konsève yo an sekrè nan yon pwotèj kont konplo a tout lang lèzòm.
You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the schemes of men. You conceal them in Your shelter from accusing tongues.
21 Beni se SENYÈ a, paske li te fè mèvèy a lanmou dous Li a anvè mwen nan yon vil byen fò.
Blessed be the LORD, for He has shown me His loving devotion in a city under siege.
22 Pou mwen, mwen te di ak kè sote mwen: “Mwen koupe retire nèt devan zye Ou”. Sepandan, Ou te tande vwa a siplikasyon mwen yo lè m te kriye a Ou menm.
In my alarm I said, “I am cut off from Your sight!” But You heard my plea for mercy when I called to You for help.
23 O renmen SENYÈ a, nou tout, moun fidèl yo! SENYÈ a toujou prezève moun fidèl yo, e bay pwòp rekonpans a (sila) ki plen ògèy yo.
Love the LORD, all His saints. The LORD preserves the faithful, but fully repays the arrogant.
24 Kenbe fèm e kite kè ou pran kouraj, nou tout ki mete espwa nan SENYÈ a.
Be strong and courageous, all you who hope in the LORD.
