Sòm 54

1 Pou direktè koral la; sou enstriman ak kòd yo. Yon sòm a David, lè Zifyen yo te vin di Saül: “Èske David pa kache pami nou?” Sove mwen, O Bondye, ak non Ou e fè vanjans mwen ak pouvwa Ou.

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites went to Saul and said, “Is David not hiding among us?” Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!

2 Koute lapriyè mwen, O Bondye. Prete zòrèy a pawòl a bouch mwen.

Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.

3 Paske etranje yo fin leve kont mwen. Moun vyolans yo te chache lavi mwen. Yo pa t mete Bondye devan yo.

For strangers rise up against me, and ruthless men seek my life— men with no regard for God.

4 Gade byen, Bondye se èd mwen. SENYÈ a se soutyen a nanm mwen.

Surely God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.

5 Li va rekonpanse mal a lènmi mwen yo. Detwi yo nan fidelite Ou.

He will reward my enemies with evil. In Your faithfulness, destroy them.

6 Avèk bòn volonte, mwen va fè sakrifis a Ou. Mwen va bay remèsiman a non Ou, O SENYÈ, paske li bon.

Freely I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.

7 Paske Li te delivre mwen nan tout twoub. Konsa, zye mwen te wè ak kè kontan, defèt lènmi m yo.

For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eyes have stared down my foes.
