Sòm 36

1 Pou direktè koral la; Yon Sòm David, sèvitè SENYÈ a Se Peche ki pale nan fon kè a lòm ki san Bondye. Nanpwen krent Bondye devan zye l.

For the Leader. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD. Transgression speaketh to the wicked, methinks — there is no fear of God before his eyes.

2 Jan li kontan ak pwòp tèt li, li pa janm wè pwop peche pa l la.

For it flattereth him in his eyes, until his iniquity be found, and he be hated.

3 Pawòl a bouch li se mechanste avèk manti. Li fè yon chemen ki pa bon.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit; he hath left off to be wise, to do good.

4 Sou kabann li, li fè plan mechan; Li antre nan yon wout ki p ap sòti byen; Li pa rayi mal.

He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.

5 Lanmou dous Ou, O SENYÈ, rive jis nan syèl yo, fidelite Ou nan syèl la.

Thy lovingkindness, O LORD, is in the heavens; Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies.

6 Ladwati Ou se tankou mòn Bondye yo, ejijman Ou yo tankou yon gran pwofondè. O SENYÈ, Ou prezève ni lòm, ni bèt.

Thy righteousness is like the mighty mountains; Thy judgments are like the great deep; man and beast Thou preservest, O LORD.

7 Lanmou dous Ou chè, O Bondye! Pitit a lòm yo pran azil anba lonbraj zèl Ou.

How precious is Thy lovingkindness, O God! and the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Thy wings.

8 Yo bwè jiskaske yo vin plen an abondans lakay Ou. Konsa, Ou bay yo bwè nan rivyè plezi Ou yo.

They are abundantly satisfied with the fatness of Thy house; and Thou makest them drink of the river of Thy pleasures.

9 Paske avèk Ou, se fontèn dlo lavi a. Nan limyè pa Ou a, nou wè limyè.

For with Thee is the fountain of life; in Thy light do we see light.

10 O bay toujou lanmou dous Ou a pou (sila) ki konnen Ou yo, ak ladwati Ou pou (sila) ki dwat nan kè yo.

O continue Thy lovingkindness unto them that know Thee; and Thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

11 Pa kite pye ògèy vini sou mwen, ni pa kite men a mechan yo chase mwen ale.

Let not the foot of pride overtake me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.

12 Se la (sila) k ap fè inikite yo gen tan fin tonbe. Yo te peze desann ak fòs, e yo p ap kab leve ankò.

There are the workers of iniquity fallen; they are thrust down, and are not able to rise.
