Sòm 57
1 Pou direktè koral la; jwe a son Al-tashheth Yon Mikhtam David, lè l te sove ale devan Saül nan kav la Fè m gras, SENYÈ, O Bondye, fè m gras, paske nanm mwen kache nan Ou. Wi, nan lonbraj a zèl Ou, mwen va kache, jiskaske destriksyon an fin pase.
For the music director. According to “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm (miktam) of David concerning the time he fled from Saul and hid in the cave. Please be kind to me, God! Be kind to me because I come to you for protection. I will shelter under the shadow of your wings until the danger is past.
2 Mwen va kriye a Bondye Pi Wo a, a Bondye ki acheve tout sa m mande an.
I cry out for help to God Most High, to God who vindicates me.
3 Li va voye sòti nan syèl la pou sove mwen. Li fè repwòch a (sila) ki foule mwen an. Tan Bondye va voye fè rive lanmou dous Li ak verite Li.
From heaven he sends his help, and he saves me. He defeats those who persecute me. (Selah) God sends me his unfailing love, showing he is completely trustworthy.
4 Nanm mwen rete pami lyon yo. Mwen oblije kouche pami (sila) k ap respire dife yo. Fis a lòm yo menm ak dan kon frenn file, epi lang yo kon yon epe file.
I am surrounded by man-eating lions—I am forced to live with them! Their teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongues are swords.
5 Leve anwo syèl yo, O Bondye; Kite glwa Ou vin pi wo sou tout latè!
God, your greatness is above the highest heavens; and your glory covers the whole earth!
6 Yo te prepare yon gwo filè pou pa mwen yo; Nanm mwen koube ba. Yo te fouye yon fòs devan m. Yo te tonbe nan mitan li. Tan
They set a trap to catch me. I was so depressed. They dug a pit on my path but they were the ones who fell into it. (Selah)
7 Kè m kanpe fèm, O Bondye, kè m fèm. Mwen va chante, wi mwen va chante lwanj!
I have confidence in you, God, I have confidence in you. I will sing songs of praise to you.
8 Leve, glwa mwen! Leve ap avèk gita! Mwen va fè maten vin leve.
I say to myself, “Wake up!” Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn!
9 Mwen va bay Ou remèsiman, O SENYÈ, pami pèp yo. Mwen va chante lwanj ou pami nasyon yo.
I will thank you among the peoples, Lord; I will sing your praises among the nations.
10 Paske lanmou dous Ou a gran jis rive nan syèl yo, epi verite Ou jis rive nan nwaj yo.
Your faithful love reaches to the heavens; your trustworthiness to the clouds.
11 Leve anwo syèl yo, O Bondye. Ke Glwa Ou kapab vin pi wo ke tout latè.
God, your greatness is above the highest heavens; and your glory covers the whole earth!
