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 chief musician. A psalm of David the servant of Yahweh. An evil man speaks of his transgression from deep in his heart, there is no fear of God in his eyes.
2 Jan li kontan ak pwòp tèt li, li pa janm wè pwop peche pa l la.
For he comforts himself, thinking that his sin will not be discovered and be hated.
3 Pawòl a bouch li se mechanste avèk manti. Li fè yon chemen ki pa bon.
His words are sinful and deceitful; he does not want to be wise and do good.
4 Sou kabann li, li fè plan mechan; Li antre nan yon wout ki p ap sòti byen; Li pa rayi mal.
While he lies in bed, he plans ways to sin; he sets out on an evil way; he does not reject evil.
5 Lanmou dous Ou, O SENYÈ, rive jis nan syèl yo, fidelite Ou nan syèl la.
Your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, reaches to the heavens; your loyalty reaches 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.
Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep. Yahweh, you preserve both mankind and the animals.
7 Lanmou dous Ou chè, O Bondye! Pitit a lòm yo pran azil anba lonbraj zèl Ou.
How precious is your covenant faithfulness, God! Humanity takes refuge under the shadow of your wings.
8 Yo bwè jiskaske yo vin plen an abondans lakay Ou. Konsa, Ou bay yo bwè nan rivyè plezi Ou yo.
They feast upon the abundance of your house; you let them drink from the river of your delights.
9 Paske avèk Ou, se fontèn dlo lavi a. Nan limyè pa Ou a, nou wè limyè.
For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we will 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.
Extend your covenant faithfulness fully to those who know you, your defense to the upright of heart.
11 Pa kite pye ògèy vini sou mwen, ni pa kite men a mechan yo chase mwen ale.
Do not let the foot of the arrogant man come near to me. Do not let 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.
Over there the evildoers have fallen; they are knocked down and are not able to get up.
