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. By David, the servant of Yahweh. A revelation is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked: 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 he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his sin.
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 has ceased 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 plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn’t abhor evil.
5 Lanmou dous Ou, O SENYÈ, rive jis nan syèl yo, fidelite Ou nan syèl la.
Your loving kindness, Yahweh, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to 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.
Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. Yahweh, you preserve man and animal.
7 Lanmou dous Ou chè, O Bondye! Pitit a lòm yo pran azil anba lonbraj zèl Ou.
How precious is your loving kindness, God! The children of men take 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 shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.
9 Paske avèk Ou, se fontèn dlo lavi a. Nan limyè pa Ou a, nou wè limyè.
For with you is the spring 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.
Oh continue your loving kindness to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Pa kite pye ògèy vini sou mwen, ni pa kite men a mechan yo chase mwen ale.
Don’t let the foot of pride come against me. Don’t 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.
There the workers of iniquity are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
