Sòm 4
1 Pou direktè koral la; sou enstriman ak fil yo; yon sòm David Reponn mwen lè m rele Ou, O Bondye ladwati mwen; Ou te fè m pran souf nan gran twoub mwen an. Fè m gras e tande lapriyè mwen.
Unto the end, in verses. A psalm for David. When I called upon him, the God of my justice heard me: when I was in distress, thou hast enlarged me. Have mercy on me: and hear my prayer.
2 O fis a lòm yo, jiskilè laglwa Mwen va devni yon repwòch? Jiskilè ou va renmen sa ki san valè e tante twonpe moun? Tan
O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?
3 Men konnen ke SENYÈ a te mete nonm Bondye a apa pou Li menm. SENYÈ a tande lè m fè apèl Li.
Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.
4 Tranble, men pa fè peche. Reflechi nan kè ou sou kabann ou, e rete kalm. Tan
Be angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.
5 Ofri sakrifis ladwati yo. Mete konfyans nan SENYÈ a.
Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things?
6 Anpil ap di: “Kilès ki kab montre nou yon bagay ki bon?” SENYÈ, leve wo limyè a vizaj Ou devan nou!
The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.
7 Ou te mete lajwa nan kè m plis pase lè gwo rekòlt sereyal mi ak diven nèf vin parèt.
By the fruit of their corn, their wine and oil, they are multiplied.
8 Anpè, mwen va kouche pou dòmi, paske Ou sèl, SENYÈ, fè m viv ansekirite.
In peace in the selfsame I will sleep, and I will rest: For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.
