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.

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

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

Hear my prayer, O God; 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 oppressors seek 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] mine helper: the Lord [is] with them that uphold my soul.

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

He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off 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.

I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise 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 seen [his desire] upon mine enemies.
