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!

Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

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

For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

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.

O send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me: let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

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 will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: and upon the harp will I praise thee, 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 art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God.
