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 victorie in orguns, ether in salmes, the lernyng of Dauid, `whanne Zyfeys camen, and seiden to Saul, Whethir Dauid is not hid at vs? God, in thi name make thou me saaf; and in thi vertu deme thou me.

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

God, here thou my preier; with eeris perseyue thou the wordis 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 aliens han rise ayens me, and stronge men souyten my lijf; and thei settiden not God bifor her siyt.

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

For, lo! God helpith me; and the Lord is vptaker of my soule.

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

Turne thou awei yuelis to myn enemyes; and leese thou hem in thi treuthe.

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

Wilfuli Y schal make sacrifice to thee; and, Lord, Y schal knouleche to thi name, 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 thou delyueridist me fro al tribulacioun; and myn iye dispiside on myn enemyes.
