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.

To the Overseer. — By a servant of Jehovah, by David. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, 'Fear of God is not before his eyes,

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

For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to 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 ceased to act prudently — 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.

Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.'

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

O Jehovah, in the heavens [is] Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness [is] unto 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] as mountains of God, Thy judgments [are] a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah.

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

How precious [is] Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust.

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

They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause them to drink.

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

For with Thee [is] a fountain of life, In 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.

Draw out Thy kindness to those knowing Thee, And Thy righteousness to the upright of heart.

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

Let not a foot of pride meet me, And a hand of the wicked let not move 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.

There have workers of iniquity fallen, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!
