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 Leader; with string-music. Maschil of David: when the Ziphites came and said to Saul: 'Doth not David hide himself with us?' O God, save me by Thy name, and right me by Thy might.

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

O God, hear my prayer; give ear 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 are risen up against me, and violent men have sought after my soul; they have not set God before them. (Selah)

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

Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is for me as the upholder of my soul.

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

He will requite the evil unto them that lie in wait for me; destroy Thou them in Thy truth.

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

With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto Thee; I will give thanks unto Thy 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 hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath gazed upon mine enemies.
