Sòm 61

1 Pou direktè koral la; sou yon enstriman a kòd; Yon Sòm David Koute kri mwen, O Bondye. Prete atansyon a lapriyè mwen.

For the Chief Musician; on a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

2 Soti nan dènye pwent latè, mwen rele Ou lè kè m fèb; Mennen mwen sou wòch ki pi wo pase m nan.

From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 Paske Ou te yon refij pou mwen, yon fò ki wo, yon gran fòs kont lènmi yo.

For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

4 Kite mwen rete nan tant Ou an jis pou tout tan. Kite mwen pran refij anba zèl Ou. Tan

I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever: I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

5 Paske Ou te koute ve mwen yo, O Bondye. Ou te ban mwen eritaj a (sila) ki gen krent non Ou yo.

For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given [me] the heritage of those that fear thy name.

6 Ou va fè lavi a wa a byen long. Ane li yo va tankou anpil jenerasyon.

Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: his years shall be as many generations.

7 Li va abite devan SENYÈ a jis pou tout tan. Senyè, bay li lanmou dous avèk verite pou li kapab andire.

He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

8 Konsa, mwen va chante lwanj Ou jis pou tout tan. Konsa, m kapab peye ve mwen yo jou apre jou.

So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
