< 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 Edom. O God, my God, to thee do I watch at break of day. For thee my soul hath thirsted; for thee my flesh, O how many ways!
2 Konsa, mwen te wè Ou nan sanktiyè a, ak pouvwa Ou, ak laglwa Ou.
In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.
3 Akoz lanmou dous Ou pi bon pase lavi, lèv mwen va louwe Ou.
For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips shall praise.
4 Pou sa, mwen va beni Ou tout tan ke m viv. Mwen va leve men m nan non Ou.
Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.
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 with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
6 Lè m sonje Ou sou kabann mwen, mwen medite sou Ou nan vèy de nwi la.
If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning:
7 Paske Ou te konn sekou mwen. Nan lonbraj a zèl Ou, mwen chante ak jwa.
Because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings:
8 Nanm mwen kole ak Ou. Men dwat Ou fè m kenbe.
My soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.
9 Men (sila) ki chache lavi mwen pou detwi li yo, va desann jis nan fon latè.
But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth:
10 Yo va livre a pouvwa nepe. Yo va tounen manje pou rena mawon.
They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall 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.
But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.
