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 of the music. A psalm of David, the servant of the Lord.” To speak of the ungodliness of the wicked is in my heart. He hath 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 he flattereth himself in his own eyes, Till his iniquity is found out and 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 neglecteth to be wise and 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 mischief upon his bed; He persevereth in an evil way; He abhorreth not sin.
5 Lanmou dous Ou, O SENYÈ, rive jis nan syèl yo, fidelite Ou nan syèl la.
Thy goodness, O LORD! reacheth to the heavens, And thy faithfulness to the clouds;
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 high mountains; Thy judgments are a great deep; Thou, O LORD! preservest man and beast!
7 Lanmou dous Ou chè, O Bondye! Pitit a lòm yo pran azil anba lonbraj zèl Ou.
How precious is thy loving-kindness, O God! Yea, the sons of men seek refuge under 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 satisfied with the abundance of thy house, And thou causest them to drink of the full stream 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; Through thy light 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 loving-kindness to them that know thee, And thy favor 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 the proud come upon me, Nor the hand of the wicked remove me!
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.
Lo! already are the workers of iniquity fallen; They are cast down; they are unable to rise!
