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.
For the leader, with stringed instruments. A psalm of David. Answer my cry, God, my defender. Often from straits you have brought me to spacious places. So now show me your favour 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
How long, you proud people, will my honour be stained by the slanders you love, and the lies that you follow? (Selah)
3 Men konnen ke SENYÈ a te mete nonm Bondye a apa pou Li menm. SENYÈ a tande lè m fè apèl Li.
See! The Lord has shown me his wonderful kindness: the Lord hears, when I call to him.
4 Tranble, men pa fè peche. Reflechi nan kè ou sou kabann ou, e rete kalm. Tan
Sin not in your anger: but speak in your heart on your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Ofri sakrifis ladwati yo. Mete konfyans nan SENYÈ a.
Offer true sacrifice, trust in the Lord.
6 Anpil ap di: “Kilès ki kab montre nou yon bagay ki bon?” SENYÈ, leve wo limyè a vizaj Ou devan nou!
Many are longing for fortune to smile. Lift upon us the light of your face.
7 Ou te mete lajwa nan kè m plis pase lè gwo rekòlt sereyal mi ak diven nèf vin parèt.
You have put in my heart, Lord, a deeper joy than was theirs who had corn and wine in abundance.
8 Anpè, mwen va kouche pou dòmi, paske Ou sèl, SENYÈ, fè m viv ansekirite.
So in peace I will lie down and sleep; for you, Lord, keep me safe.
