Sòm 63

1 Yon Sòm David, lè l te nan dezè Juda a. O Bondye, Ou se Bondye mwen. Mwen va chache Ou ak tout kè m. Nanm mwen swaf pou Ou. Chè m anvi Ou nan yon peyi epwize e sèch kote nanpwen dlo.

A Psalm of David, when he was in the desert of Idumea. O God, my God: to you, I keep vigil until first light. For you, my soul has thirsted, to you my body, in so many ways.

2 Konsa, mwen te wè Ou nan sanktiyè a, ak pouvwa Ou, ak laglwa Ou.

By a deserted land, both inaccessible and waterless, so I have appeared in the sanctuary before you, in order to behold your virtue and your glory.

3 Akoz lanmou dous Ou pi bon pase lavi, lèv mwen va louwe Ou.

For your mercy is better than life itself. It is you my lips will praise.

4 Pou sa, mwen va beni Ou tout tan ke m viv. Mwen va leve men m nan non Ou.

So will I bless you in my life, and I will lift up my hands in your name.

5 Nanm mwen satisfè konsi avèk ma zo ak grès, e bouch mwen ap ofri lwanj avèk lèv ranpli de jwa.

Let my soul be filled, as if with marrow and fatness; and my mouth will give praise with exultant lips.

6 Lè m sonje Ou sou kabann mwen, mwen medite sou Ou nan vèy de nwi la.

When I have remembered you on my bed in the morning, I will meditate on you.

7 Paske Ou te konn sekou mwen. Nan lonbraj a zèl Ou, mwen chante ak jwa.

For you have been my helper. And I will exult under the cover of your wings.

8 Nanm mwen kole ak Ou. Men dwat Ou fè m kenbe.

My soul has clung close to you. Your right hand has supported me.

9 Men (sila) ki chache lavi mwen pou detwi li yo, va desann jis nan fon latè.

Truly, these ones have sought my soul in vain. They will enter into the lower parts of the earth.

10 Yo va livre a pouvwa nepe. Yo va tounen manje pou rena mawon.

They will be delivered into the hand of the sword. They will be the portions of foxes.

11 Men Wa a va rejwi nan Bondye. Tout moun ki sèmante pa Li menm yo, va twouve glwa. Paske bouch a (sila) ki bay manti yo, va fèmen.

Truly, the king will rejoice in God: all those who swear by him will be praised, because the mouth of those who speak iniquity has been blocked.
