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.
To the Chief Musician. Upon "The Dove of God from the distant Sea." David’s. A precious Psalm. When the Philistines seized him in Gath. Show me favour, O God, For weak man hath panted for me, All the day, a fighter oppresseth me:
2 Lènmi m yo vle vale m tout lajounen. Yo anpil! Tout (sila) ki goumen ak ògèy kont mwen yo.
Mine adversaries have panted all the day, For, many, are fighting with me, loftily.
3 Lè mwen pè, mwen va mete konfyans nan Ou.
What day I am afraid, I, unto thee will direct my confidence.
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 his cause, —In God, have I trusted, I will not fear, What can flesh do unto me?
5 Tout lajounen, yo tòde pawòl mwen yo. Tout panse yo kont mwen se pou mal.
All the day, they wrest, my words, Against me, all their devices are for mischief;
6 Yo atake, yo kache, yo veye pa mwen yo. Y ap tann pou rache lavi m.
They stir up strife—they lie hid, They, mark my steps, —Seeing they have waited for my life.
7 Akoz mechanste sa a, jete yo deyò. Nan kòlè Ou, fè desann moun sa yo, O Bondye!
Because of iniquity, recompense thou them, —In anger, bring thou down, the peoples, O God.
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?
My wandering, hast, thou, recorded, —Put thou my tears in thy bottle, Are they not in thy record?
9 Konsa, lènmi mwen yo va vire fè bak nan jou ke m rele a. Men sa m byen konnen: Bondye pou mwen.
Then, shall my foes turn back, in the day I cry, This, I know, for God is mine!
10 Nan Bondye, ma louwe pawòl li. Nan SENYÈ a, ma louwe pawòl li.
In God, will I praise with good cause: In Yahweh, will I praise with good cause;
11 Nan Bondye, mwen te mete konfyans mwen. Mwen p ap pè. Kisa lòm ka fè m?
In God, have I trusted, I will not fear, What can a son of earth do unto me!
12 Ve Ou yo mare sou mwen, O Bondye. Mwen va rann ofrann remèsiman a Ou menm.
Upon me, O God, are thy vows, I will pay back praises unto thee.
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 thou hast rescued my soul from death, Wilt thou not [rescue] my feet from stumbling? That I may walk to and fro, before God, In the light of life.
