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 leader. Al tashheth. Of David. A michtam, when Saul sent men to watch his house in order to kill him. Save me, O God, from my enemies; secure me from my assailants.
2 Delivre m de (sila) ki fè inikite yo, e sove mwen de moun ki vèse san yo.
Save me from those who do wrong, save me from the bloodthirsty.
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 see! They lay ambush for me, strong men are banded against me not for sin or transgression of mine, for no guilt of mine, O Lord,
4 Se pa akoz mwen koupab ke yo vin kouri mete yo kont mwen an. Leve Ou menm pou wè, e fè m sekou!
they run and make ready. Awake! Come forth to meet me, and see!
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, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, awake! And punish the proud, every one; spare none of the traitors vile. (Selah)
6 Yo retounen nan aswè. Yo rele tankou chen pandan yo antoure lavil la.
At evening they come, and, howling like dogs, make their round in 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 at their venomous mouths, tongues like swords, they think no one hears them.
8 Men Ou menm, O SENYÈ, ri sou yo! Ou menm, giyonnen tout nasyon sa yo.
But you, Lord, laugh at them, you mock all the insolent.
9 O Fòs mwen, m ap veye tann Ou. Bondye se sitadèl mwen.
My strength, I will sing to you, for God is my sure retreat.
10 Bondye mwen an ak lanmou dous Li a, va devan m. Bondye va kite mwen triyonfè sou advèsè mwen yo.
My God with his love will meet me, and feast my eyes on my foes.
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.
Slay them not, lest my people forget, let your hosts keep them roaming and wandering.
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.
In their sinful speech snare them, O Lord; and may they be trapped in their pride, for the curses and lies that 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
In your wrath make a clean end of them, that people, to the ends of the earth, may know that God rules in Jacob. (Selah)
14 Kite yo retounen nan aswè. Kite yo rele anlè tankou chen, pandan yo antoure vil la.
At evening they come, and, howling like dogs, make their round in the city.
15 Yo gaye toupatou. Yap tan tout lanwit si yo pa satisfè.
They roam about for a feast, and snarl, if they get not their fill.
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 might; I will ring out your love in the morning. For to me you have been a sure refuge, a retreat in the day of my trouble.
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.
My strength, I will sing praise to you, for God is my sure retreat, my faithful God.
