Sòm 43

1 Deklare m inosan, O Bondye mwen! Plede ka mwen kont yon nasyon enfidèl. O delivre mwen soti nan men a lezòm mantè e enjis yo!

Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation; deliver me from deceitful and unjust men.

2 Paske Ou se Bondye fòs mwen an. Poukisa Ou rejte m? Poukisa mwen fè dèy akoz opresyon a lènmi an?

For You are the God of my refuge. Why have You rejected me? Why must I walk in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?

3 Voye limyè Ou deyò avèk verite Ou; kite yo mennen mwen. Kite yo mennen m nan mòn sen Ou an ak kote Ou abite yo.

Send out Your light and Your truth; let them lead me. Let them bring me to Your holy mountain, and to the place where You dwell.

4 Konsa, mwen va ale vè lotèl Bondye a, Bondye lajwa m ki depase limit lan. Konsa, sou gita a, mwen va bay Ou lwanj, O Bondye, Bondye mwen an.

Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my greatest joy. I will praise You with the harp, O God, my God.

5 Poukisa ou nan dezespwa, O nanm mwen? E poukisa ou twouble anndan m? Mete espwa ou nan Bondye! Paske m ap louwe Li ankò: O sove m, soutyen mwen an, ak Bondye m.

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.
