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 Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A poem by David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.] Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.
2 Mwen va kriye a Bondye Pi Wo a, a Bondye ki acheve tout sa m mande an.
I cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for 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.
He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. (Selah) God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.
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.
My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Leve anwo syèl yo, O Bondye; Kite glwa Ou vin pi wo sou tout latè!
Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be above all the 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 have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into its midst themselves. (Selah)
7 Kè m kanpe fèm, O Bondye, kè m fèm. Mwen va chante, wi mwen va chante lwanj!
My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
8 Leve, glwa mwen! Leve ap avèk gita! Mwen va fè maten vin leve.
Wake up, my glory. Wake up, psaltery and harp. 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 give thanks to you, YHWH, among the peoples. I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10 Paske lanmou dous Ou a gran jis rive nan syèl yo, epi verite Ou jis rive nan nwaj yo.
For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.
11 Leve anwo syèl yo, O Bondye. Ke Glwa Ou kapab vin pi wo ke tout latè.
Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
