Sòm 59
1 Pou direktè koral la; Nan melodi la “Pa Detwi”. Yon powèm David lè Saül te voye yo lakay pou touye l. Delivre mwen de lènmi m yo, O Bondye mwen; Plase mwen byen wo an sekirite byen lwen de (sila) ki leve kont mwen yo.
[For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A poem by David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.] Deliver me from my enemies, my God. Set me on high from those who rise up against me.
2 Delivre m de (sila) ki fè inikite yo, e sove mwen de moun ki vèse san yo.
Deliver me from evildoers. Save me from the bloodthirsty men.
3 Paske gade byen, yo fè anbiskad pou lavi m. Mesye fewòs ki fè atak kont mwen yo, pa akoz transgresyon mwen, ni peche m, O SENYÈ.
For, look, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, YHWH.
4 Se pa akoz mwen koupab ke yo vin kouri mete yo kont mwen an. Leve Ou menm pou wè, e fè m sekou!
I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Rise up, look, and help me.
5 Ou menm, O SENYÈ Bondye dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la, leve e pini tout nasyon yo. Pa bay gras a moun mechan yo ki fè trèt nan inikite. Tan
You, YHWH, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. (Selah)
6 Yo retounen nan aswè. Yo rele tankou chen pandan yo antoure lavil la.
They return at evening, howling like dogs, and prowl around the city.
7 Gade byen, yo fè pete gwo gaz ak bouch yo. Nepe yo nan lèv yo, paske yo di: “Kilès ki tande”?
Look, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, "For," they say, "who hears us?"
8 Men Ou menm, O SENYÈ, ri sou yo! Ou menm, giyonnen tout nasyon sa yo.
But you, YHWH, laugh at them. You scoff at all the nations.
9 O Fòs mwen, m ap veye tann Ou. Bondye se sitadèl mwen.
Oh, my Strength, I watch for you, for God is my high tower.
10 Bondye mwen an ak lanmou dous Li a, va devan m. Bondye va kite mwen triyonfè sou advèsè mwen yo.
My God of mercy will come to meet me. God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.
11 Pa fin touye yo, sinon moun mwen yo ka bliye. Gaye yo avèk pouvwa Ou, e rale fè yo desann, O SENYÈ, boukliye nou an.
Do not kill them, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, YHWH our shield.
12 Akoz peche a bouch yo avèk pawòl lèv yo, Kite yo sezi pran nan pwòp ògèy yo. Paske se malediksyon avèk manti yo bay.
For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.
13 Detwi yo nan kòlè Ou! Detwi yo pou yo disparèt nèt. Pou Moun kab konnen se Bondye k ap renye sou Jacob, jis rive sou tout latè. Tan
Consume them in wrath. Consume them, and they will be no more. Let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the farthest parts of the earth. (Selah)
14 Kite yo retounen nan aswè. Kite yo rele anlè tankou chen, pandan yo antoure vil la.
At evening let them return. Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city.
15 Yo gaye toupatou. Yap tan tout lanwit si yo pa satisfè.
They shall wander up and down for food, and wait all night if they aren't satisfied.
16 Men pou mwen, mwen va chante de fòs Ou. Wi, avèk jwa, mwen va chante sou lanmou dous Ou nan maten. Paske Ou te toujou sitadèl mwen, yon pwotèj nan jou gran twoub mwen an.
But I will sing of your strength. Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning. For you have been my high tower, a refuge in the day of my distress.
17 A Ou menm, gran fòs mwen, mwen va chante lwanj a Ou menm. Paske Bondye se sitadèl mwen, Bondye ki montre mwen lanmou dous la.
To you, my strength, I will sing praises. For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
