Sòm 6

1 Pou direktè koral la; avèk enstriman ak fil yo sou yon gita uit kòd. Yon sòm David. O SENYÈ, pa repwoche mwen nan kòlè Ou, ni ba m chatiman nan fachez Ou.

To the Overseer with stringed instruments, on the octave. — A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, in Thine anger reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.

2 Fè m gras, O SENYÈ, paske mwen chagren anpil. Geri mwen, O SENYÈ, paske zo m yo rele anmwey,

Favour me, O Jehovah, for I [am] weak, Heal me, O Jehovah, For troubled have been my bones,

3 epi nanm mwen fè gwo chagren. Men Ou, O SENYÈ, —jiskilè?

And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?

4 Retounen, O SENYÈ, fè nanm mwen chape. Sove mwen akoz lanmou dous Ou a.

Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy kindness' sake.

5 Paske mò yo pa rele non Ou. Nan andwa kote mò yo ye a, se kilès k ap bay Ou remèsiman? (Sheol h7585)

For there is not in death Thy memorial, In Sheol, who doth give thanks to Thee? (Sheol h7585)

6 Mwen bouke ak plent ki sòti anndan m. Chak nwit, kabann mwen vin naje ak dlo. Dlo ki sòt nan zye m yo fin gate kabann nan.

I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate through all the night [on] my bed, With my tear my couch I waste.

7 Zye m pouri nèt ak gwo doulè. Yo vin vye nèt akoz tout advèsè mwen yo.

Old from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all mine adversaries,

8 Sòti sou mwen, nou tout ki fè mechanste yo, paske SENYÈ a te tande gwo kri mwen.

Turn from me all ye workers of iniquity, For Jehovah heard the voice of my weeping,

9 SENYÈ a te tande demand priyè mwen. SENYÈ a te resevwa lapriyè mwen.

Jehovah hath heard my supplication, Jehovah my prayer receiveth.

10 Tout lènmi mwen yo va wont e deranje nèt. Yo va vire fè bak sibitman. Yo va vin wont anpil.

Ashamed and troubled greatly are all mine enemies, They turn back — ashamed [in] a moment!
