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] burnt Mesopotamia of Syria, and Syria Sobal, and Joab [had] returned and struck [in] the valley of salt twelve thousand. O God, you have rejected and destroyed us; you have been angry, yet have pitied us.
2 Ou te fè latè tranble. Ou te fann li pou l ouvri. Geri brèch li yo, paske l ap sekwe.
You have 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.
You have shown your people hard things: you 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
You have given a token to them that fear you, that they might flee from the bow. (Pause)
5 Pou byeneme Ou yo kab delivre, Sove avèk men dwat Ou e reponn nou!
That your beloved ones may be delivered; save with your 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 cauldron 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?
Will not you, O God, who have cast us off? and will not you, 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 nothing them that harass us.
