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 Overseer, on stringed instruments. — By David. Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to 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 land unto Thee I call, In the feebleness of my heart, Into a rock higher than I Thou dost 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 for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.

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

I sojourn in Thy tent to the ages, I trust in the secret place 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 appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Thy name.

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

Days to the days of the king Thou addest, His years as generation and generation.

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

He dwelleth to the age before God, Kindness and truth appoint — they keep him.

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

So do I praise Thy name for ever, When I pay my vows day by day!
