Sòm 40

1 Pou direktè koral la; Yon Sòm David Mwen te tann avèk pasyans SENYÈ a. Li te enkline vè mwen e te tande kri mwen.

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. I Waited paciently for the Lord, and he inclined vnto me, and heard my cry.

2 Li te mennen mwen sòti nan fòs k ap detwi a, sòti deyò gwo ma ajil la. Li te mete pye m sou wòch la e te fè m kanpe byen fèm.

Hee brought mee also out of the horrible pit, out of the myrie clay, and set my feete vpon the rocke, and ordered my goings.

3 Li te mete yon chanson nèf nan bouch mwen, yon chan lwanj Bondye nou an. Anpil moun va wè, vin gen lakrent e va mete konfyans nan Bondye.

And he hath put in my mouth a new song of praise vnto our God: many shall see it and feare, and shall trust in the Lord.

4 A la beni se nonm ki mete konfyans li nan SENYÈ a, e ki pa t vire vè moun ògèy yo, ni a (sila) ki vin vire nan sa ki fo yo.

Blessed is the man that maketh the Lord his trust, and regardeth not the proude, nor such as turne aside to lyes.

5 Anpil, O SENYÈ Bondye mwen an, se mèvèy ke Ou te fè yo, ak panse Ou yo anvè nou. Nanpwen ki kab konpare avèk Ou. Si m ta deklare yo e pale sou yo tout, yo ta vin twòp pou m ta kab konte.

O Lord my God, thou hast made thy wonderfull workes so many, that none can count in order to thee thy thoughts toward vs: I would declare, and speake of them, but they are moe then I am able to expresse.

6 Sakrifis avèk ofrann sereyal, Ou pa t dezire yo. Ou te ouvri zòrèy mwen. Ofrann brile avèk ofrann peche yo, Ou pa t mande yo.

Sacrifice and offering thou didest not desire: (for mine eares hast thou prepared) burnt offring and sinne offering hast thou not required.

7 Konsa mwen te di: “Gade byen, mwen vini. Nan woulo liv la, li ekri de mwen menm.

Then said I, Lo, I come: for in the rolle of the booke it is written of me,

8 Mwen pran plezi nan fè volonte pa Ou, O SENYÈ. Lalwa Ou nan kè m.”

I desired to doe thy good will, O my God: yea, thy Lawe is within mine heart.

9 Mwen te pwoklame bòn nouvèl ladwati yo nan gran asanble a; Gade byen, mwen p ap anpeche lèv mwen; O SENYÈ, Ou konnen.

I haue declared thy righteousnesse in the great Congregation: loe, I will not refraine my lippes: O Lord, thou knowest.

10 Mwen pa t kache ladwati Ou anndan kè m. Mwen te pale selon fidelite Ou, avèk sali Ou. Mwen pa t kache lanmou dous Ou avèk verite Ou devan gran asanble a.

I haue not hidde thy righteousnesse within mine heart, but I haue declared thy trueth and thy saluation: I haue not conceiled thy mercy and thy trueth from the great Congregation.

11 Ou menm O SENYÈ, p ap refize mwen. Lanmou dous Ou avèk verite Ou va prezève mwen tout tan.

Withdrawe not thou thy tender mercie from mee, O Lord: let thy mercie and thy trueth alway preserue me.

12 Paske malè ki depase kontwòl yo te antoure mwen. Inikite mwen yo te fin pran m nèt jiskaske mwen pa t kab wè. Yo plis pase cheve sou tèt mwen. Kè m fin fè fayit.

For innumerable troubles haue compassed mee: my sinnes haue taken such holde vpon me, that I am not able to looke vp: yea, they are moe in nomber then the heares of mine head: therefore mine heart hath failed me.

13 Fè l plezi Ou, O SENYÈ, pou delivre mwen. Fè vit, O SENYÈ, pou ede mwen.

Let it please thee, O Lord, to deliuer mee: make haste, O Lord, to helpe me.

14 Kite (sila) yo vin wont e imilye ansanm, (sila) ki chache lavi mwen pou detwi li. Kite (sila) yo vire fè bak e dezonore, (sila) ki pran plezi nan fè m mal yo.

Let them be confounded and put to shame together, that seeke my soule to destroye it: let them be driuen backward and put to rebuke, that desire mine hurt.

15 Kite (sila) yo etone nèt akoz wont yo, (sila) ki di mwen: “Wayan, wayan!”

Let them be destroyed for a rewarde of their shame, which say vnto me, Aha, aha.

16 Kite tout (sila) ki wè Ou yo rejwi e fè kè kontan nan Ou. Kite tout (sila) ki renmen sali Ou yo pale tout tan: “Ke SENYÈ a kapab leve wo!”

Let all them, that seeke thee, reioyce and be glad in thee: and let them, that loue thy saluation, say alway, The Lord be praysed.

17 Akoz mwen aflije e nan gwo bezwen, kite SENYÈ a toujou sonje mwen. Se Ou menm ki soutyen mwen ak delivrans mwen. Pa fè reta, O Bondye mwen an.

Though I be poore and needie, the Lord thinketh on mee: thou art mine helper and my deliuerer: my God, make no tarying.
