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.
To the Overseer. — 'Destroy not,' by David. — A secret treasure, in Saul's sending, and they watch the house to put him to death. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God, From my withstanders set me on high.
2 Delivre m de (sila) ki fè inikite yo, e sove mwen de moun ki vèse san yo.
Deliver me from workers of iniquity, And from men of blood save me.
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, lo, they laid wait for my soul, Assembled against me are strong ones, Not my transgression nor my sin, O Jehovah.
4 Se pa akoz mwen koupab ke yo vin kouri mete yo kont mwen an. Leve Ou menm pou wè, e fè m sekou!
Without punishment they run and prepare themselves, Stir up 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
And Thou, Jehovah, God of Hosts, God of Israel, Awake to inspect all the nations. Favour not any treacherous dealers of iniquity. (Selah)
6 Yo retounen nan aswè. Yo rele tankou chen pandan yo antoure lavil la.
They turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And go round about the city.
7 Gade byen, yo fè pete gwo gaz ak bouch yo. Nepe yo nan lèv yo, paske yo di: “Kilès ki tande”?
Lo, they belch out with their mouths, Swords [are] in their lips, for 'Who heareth?'
8 Men Ou menm, O SENYÈ, ri sou yo! Ou menm, giyonnen tout nasyon sa yo.
And Thou, O Jehovah dost laugh at them, Thou dost mock at all the nations.
9 O Fòs mwen, m ap veye tann Ou. Bondye se sitadèl mwen.
O my Strength, unto Thee I take heed, For God [is] my tower — the God of my kindness.
10 Bondye mwen an ak lanmou dous Li a, va devan m. Bondye va kite mwen triyonfè sou advèsè mwen yo.
God doth go before me, He causeth me to look on mine enemies.
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, Shake them by Thy strength, And bring them down, O Lord 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.
The sin of their mouth [is] a word of their lips, And they are captured in their pride, And from the curse and lying they recount.
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 in fury, consume and they are not, And they know that God is ruling in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. (Selah)
14 Kite yo retounen nan aswè. Kite yo rele anlè tankou chen, pandan yo antoure vil la.
And they turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And they go round about the city.
15 Yo gaye toupatou. Yap tan tout lanwit si yo pa satisfè.
They — they wander for food, If they are not satisfied — then they murmur.
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.
And I — I sing [of] Thy strength, And I sing at morn [of] Thy kindness, For thou hast been a tower to me, And a refuge for me in a day of adversity.
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.
O my Strength, unto Thee I sing praise, For God [is] my tower, the God of my kindness!
