< 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 wilderness of Idumea. O God, my God, I cry to you early; my soul has thirsted for you: how often has my flesh [longed] after you, in a barren and trackless and dry land!
2 Konsa, mwen te wè Ou nan sanktiyè a, ak pouvwa Ou, ak laglwa Ou.
Thus have I appeared before you in the sanctuary, that I might see your power and your glory.
3 Akoz lanmou dous Ou pi bon pase lavi, lèv mwen va louwe Ou.
For your mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise you.
4 Pou sa, mwen va beni Ou tout tan ke m viv. Mwen va leve men m nan non Ou.
Thus will I bless you during my life: 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 with marrow and fatness; and [my] joyful lips shall praise your name.
6 Lè m sonje Ou sou kabann mwen, mwen medite sou Ou nan vèy de nwi la.
Forasmuch as I have remembered you on my bed: in the early seasons I have meditated 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 in the shelter of your wings will I rejoice.
8 Nanm mwen kole ak Ou. Men dwat Ou fè m kenbe.
My soul has kept very close behind you: your right hand has upheld me.
9 Men (sila) ki chache lavi mwen pou detwi li yo, va desann jis nan fon latè.
But they vainly sought after my soul; they shall go into the lowest parts o the earth.
10 Yo va livre a pouvwa nepe. Yo va tounen manje pou rena mawon.
They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword; they shall be portions for 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; every one that swears by him shall be praised; for the mouth of them that speak unjust things has been stopped.
