Sòm 5

1 Pou Direktè koral yo; fèt pou akonpanye ak flit. Yon Sòm David. Prete zòrèy Ou a pawòl mwen yo, O SENYÈ. Konsidere refleksyon mwen yo.

For the choirmaster, to be accompanied by flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning.

2 Koute bri kri sekou mwen yo, Wa mwen e Bondye mwen. Pou Ou menm, mwen ap priye.

Attend to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I pray.

3 Nan maten O SENYÈ, Ou va tande vwa mwen. Nan maten mwen va vèse bay Ou lapriyè mwen yo. M aptann, m ap veye.

In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice; at daybreak I lay my plea before You and wait in expectation.

4 Paske Ou se pa yon Bondye ki gen plezi nan mechanste. Nanpwen mal ki rete avèk Ou.

For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; no evil can dwell with You.

5 (Sila) ki plen ògèy p ap kab kanpe devan zye Ou. Ou rayi tout (sila) ki fè inikite yo.

The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all workers of iniquity.

6 Ou detwi (sila) ki pale sa ki fo yo. SENYÈ a rayi yon nonm ki vèse san, ki twonpe moun.

You destroy those who tell lies; the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.

7 Men pou mwen, pa gran lanmou dous Ou a mwen va antre lakay Ou. Nan tanp sen Ou an mwen va pwostène mwen nèt an adorasyon.

But I will enter Your house by the abundance of Your loving devotion; in reverence I will bow down toward Your holy temple.

8 O SENYÈ, mennen m nan ladwati Ou akoz lènmi mwen yo. Fè chemen Ou dwat devan mwen.

Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make straight Your way before me.

9 Nanpwen anyen stab nan pawòl pa yo. Anndan yo se pouriti menm. Gòj yo se yon tonm ki louvri. Yo fè flatè ak lang yo.

For not a word they speak can be trusted; destruction lies within them. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.

10 Kenbe yo koupab, O Bondye. Selon pwòp manèv pa yo, kite yo tonbe! Nan fòs kantite peche yo pouse yo deyò, paske se rebèl yo ye kont Ou.

Declare them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.

11 Men kite tout (sila) ki pran refij nan Ou yo, fè kè kontan. Kite yo toujou chante ak kè kontan, akoz Ou fè abri pou yo. Kite (sila) ki renmen non Ou yo kapab fè kè kontan nan Ou.

But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them ever shout for joy. May You shelter them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You.

12 Paske se Ou menm ki beni nonm ki dwat la, O SENYÈ, Ou ki antoure li avèk gras Ou, tankou yon boukliye.

For surely You, O LORD, bless the righteous; You surround them with the shield of Your favor.
