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.

To the Chief Musician. Upon a Stringed Instrument. David’s. Hear, O God, my loud cry, 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, unto thee do I cry, When my heart fainteth away, Unto a rock that is higher than I, wilt thou lead me.

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

For thou hast been, A Refuge to me, A Tower of Strength, from the face of the foe.

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

I would be a guest in thy tent to the ages, I would seek refuge in the concealment 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 hearkened to my vows, Thou hast granted a possession, unto them who revere thy Name.

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

Days—unto the days of the king, wilt thou add. His years, as of generation after generation:

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

Let him retain his seat age-abidingly before God, Appoint that, lovingkindness and faithfulness, my watch over 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 thy Name unto futurity, Paying my vows, day by day.
