Sòm 60
1 Pou direktè koral la; selon melodi “Lis Akò La”. Yon powèm David, pou enstwi; lè l te lite avèk Aram-Naharaim e avèk Aram-Zobah; epi, Joab te retounen e te frape douz-mil Edomit nan Vale Sèl la. O Bondye, Ou te rejte nou. Ou te kraze nou. Ou te fache. O restore nou ankò.
For the end, for them that shall yet be changed; for an inscription by David for instruction, when he [had] burned Mesopotamia of Syria, and Syria Sobal, and Joab [had] returned and smitten [in] the valley of salt twelve thousand. O God, thou hast rejected and destroyed us; thou hast been angry, yet hast pitied us.
2 Ou te fè latè tranble. Ou te fann li pou l ouvri. Geri brèch li yo, paske l ap sekwe.
Thou hast shaken the earth, and troubled it; heal its breaches, for it has been shaken.
3 Ou te fè pèp Ou a wè anpil bagay di. Ou te bay nou diven pou bwè ki fè nou toudi.
Thou hast shewn thy people hard things: thou has made us drink the wine of astonishment.
4 Ou te bay yon drapo pou (sila) ki gen lakrent Ou yo, pou fè l byen parèt akoz verite a. Tan
Thou hast given a token to them that fear thee, that they might flee from the bow. (Pause)
5 Pou byeneme Ou yo kab delivre, Sove avèk men dwat Ou e reponn nou!
That thy beloved ones may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
6 Bondye te pale nan sentete Li: “Mwen va triyonfe! Mwen va divize Sichem e tire yon lin nan vale Succoth la.
God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, and divide Sicima, and measure out the valley of tents.
7 Galaad se pou Mwen e Manassé se pa M. Anplis, Éphraïm se kas sou tèt Mwen. Juda se baton wayal Mwen an.
Galaad is mine, and Manasse is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head;
8 Moab se basen lave Mwen. Sou Edom, Mwen va jete soulye Mwen. Mwen rele viktwa sou peye Filisten yo.”
Judas is my king; Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I stretch out my shoe; the Philistines have been subjected to me.
9 Kilès k ap fè m rive nan vil fòterès la? Kilès k ap mennen mwen antre Edom?
Who will lead me into the fortified city? who will guide me as far a Idumea?
10 Èske Ou menm, SENYÈ a, pa t rejte nou? Epi èske Ou p ap sòti avèk lame nou yo, O Bondye?
Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our forces?
11 O bannou sekou kont advèsè a, paske delivrans pa lòm se an ven.
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the deliverance of man.
12 Nan Bondye, nou va fè bèl bagay yo ak gwo kouraj. Se Li menm ki va foule lènmi nou yo anba pye.
In God will we do valiantly; and he shall bring to nought them that harass us.
