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.

To the Overseer, 'Concerning the Inheritances.' — A Psalm of David. My sayings hear, O Jehovah, Consider my (meditation)

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

Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My king and my God, For unto Thee I pray habitually.

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.

Jehovah, [at] morning Thou hearest my voice, [At] morning I set in array for Thee, And I look out.

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

For not a God desiring wickedness [art] Thou, Evil inhabiteth Thee not.

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

The boastful station not themselves before Thine eyes: Thou hast hated all working iniquity.

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

Thou destroyest those speaking lies, A man of blood and deceit Jehovah doth abominate.

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.

And I, in the abundance of Thy kindness, I enter Thy house, I bow myself toward Thy holy temple in Thy fear.

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

O Jehovah, lead me in Thy righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make straight before me Thy way,

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 there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart [is] mischiefs, An open grave [is] their throat, Their tongue they make smooth.

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 from their own counsels, In the abundance of their transgressions Drive them away, Because they have rebelled against Thee.

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.

And rejoice do all trusting in Thee, To the age they sing, and Thou coverest them over, And those loving Thy name exult in Thee.

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

For Thou blessest the righteous, O Jehovah, As a buckler with favour dost compass him!
