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.

Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

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

Sh'ma ·Hear obey· my prayer, 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 have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven’t set God before them. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

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

Behold, God is my helper. 'Adonay [Lord] is the one who sustains my soul.

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

He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your 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 free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to your name, Adonai, 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 out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
