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 leader. A psalm of David. In you, O Lord, I take refuge; let me never be put to shame. Rescue me in your faithfulness;
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 to me your ear. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a rock of defence, a fortified house, to save me.
3 Paske Ou se wòch mwen ak sitadèl mwen, konsa, pou koz a non Ou, Ou va gide mwen.
For my rock and my fortress are you; lead me and guide me so your name will be honored.
4 Ou va rale m sòti nan filè ke yo te prepare an sekrè pou mwen an, paske se Ou ki fòs mwen.
Draw me out of the net they have hid for me, for you yourself are my refuge.
5 Nan men Ou, mwen mete lespri mwen. Ou te rachte m, O SENYÈ, Bondye verite a.
Into your hand I commend my spirit: you ransom me, Lord, faithful God.
6 Mwen rayi (sila) ki fè rega a fo zidòl yo, men nan Bondye, mwen mete konfyans mwen.
I hate those devoted to worthless idols; I trust in the Lord.
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 rejoice and be glad in your love, because you have looked on my misery, and cared for me in my distress.
8 Ou pa t lage mwen nan men a lènmi an. Ou te mete pye mwen nan yon kote byen laj.
You have not given me into the enemy’s hand, you have set my feet in a spacious place.
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 gracious to me, Lord, for I am distressed; my eye is wasted away with sorrow.
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 sighing. My strength is broken with misery, my bones waste 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.
The scorn of all my foes, the butt of my neighbors am I, a terror to my acquaintance. At the sight of me in the street people turn quickly away.
12 Mwen fin bliye tankou yon moun mouri, disparèt nan panse moun. Mwen tankou yon veso ki fin kraze.
I am clean forgotten like the dead, am become like a ruined 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.
I hear the whispers of many – terror on every side – scheming together against me, plotting to take my life.
14 Men pou mwen, mwen mete konfyans nan Ou, O SENYÈ. Mwen di: “Se Ou menm ki Bondye mwen”.
But my trust is in you, Lord. “You are my God,” I say;
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 hand, save me from the hand of the foes who pursue me.
16 Fè limyè figi Ou vin parèt sou sèvitè Ou a. Sove mwen nan lanmou dous Ou a.
Make your face to shine on your servant, save me in your love.
Put me not, O Lord, to shame, for I have called upon you. Let the wicked be put to shame 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.
Strike the false lips dumb, that speak proudly against the righteous with haughtiness 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 the goodness you have treasured for those who fear you, and wrought for those who take refuge in you, in plain sight of all!
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.
In your sheltering wings you hide them from plottings of people, you keep them safe in a bower from the chiding of tongues.
21 Beni se SENYÈ a, paske li te fè mèvèy a lanmou dous Li a anvè mwen nan yon vil byen fò.
Blest be the Lord for the wonderful love he has shown me in time of distress.
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.
For I had said in panic, “I am driven clean out of your sight.” But you heard my plea, when I cried 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 you faithful; the Lord protects the loyal, but repays the haughty in full.
24 Kenbe fèm e kite kè ou pran kouraj, nou tout ki mete espwa nan SENYÈ a.
Let your hearts be courageous and strong, all you who wait on the Lord.
