Sòm 56
1 Pou direktè koral la. Yon powèm David lè Filisten yo te sezi li Gath. Chante pa melodi “Toutrèl San Chanson Nan Peyi Lwen An” Fè m gras, O Bondye, paske lòm fin foule m anba pye; Nan goumen tout lajounen, li vin oprime mwen.
For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Geth. Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me.
2 Lènmi m yo vle vale m tout lajounen. Yo anpil! Tout (sila) ki goumen ak ògèy kont mwen yo.
Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.
3 Lè mwen pè, mwen va mete konfyans nan Ou.
They shall be afraid, but I will trust in you.
4 Nan Bondye, mwen fè lwanj pawòl Li! Nan Bondye, mwen te mete konfyans mwen. Mwen p ap pè. Kisa lòm ka fè m?
In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.
5 Tout lajounen, yo tòde pawòl mwen yo. Tout panse yo kont mwen se pou mal.
All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices [are] against me for evil.
6 Yo atake, yo kache, yo veye pa mwen yo. Y ap tann pou rache lavi m.
They will dwell near and hide [themselves]; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.
7 Akoz mechanste sa a, jete yo deyò. Nan kòlè Ou, fè desann moun sa yo, O Bondye!
You will on no account save them; you will bring down the people in wrath.
8 Ou te byen konte tout egare mwen fè. Mete tout gout dlo ki sòti nan zye m yo nan boutèy Ou. Èske yo tout pa ekri nan liv Ou a?
O God, I have declared my life to you; you has set my tears before you, even according to your promise.
9 Konsa, lènmi mwen yo va vire fè bak nan jou ke m rele a. Men sa m byen konnen: Bondye pou mwen.
Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon you; behold, I know that you are my God.
10 Nan Bondye, ma louwe pawòl li. Nan SENYÈ a, ma louwe pawòl li.
In God, will I praise [his] word; in the Lord will I praise [his] saying.
11 Nan Bondye, mwen te mete konfyans mwen. Mwen p ap pè. Kisa lòm ka fè m?
I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.
12 Ve Ou yo mare sou mwen, O Bondye. Mwen va rann ofrann remèsiman a Ou menm.
The vows of your praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me.
13 Paske Ou te delivre nanm mwen soti nan lanmò. Ou te anpeche pye mwen glise tonbe, pou m ta kab mache devan Bondye nan limyè a moun vivan yo.
For you have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.
