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.

`The salm of Dauid, `whanne he was in the desert of Judee. God, my God, Y wake to thee ful eerli. Mi soule thirstide to thee; my fleisch thirstide to thee ful many foold.

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

In a lond forsakun with out wei, and with out water, so Y apperide to thee in hooli; that Y schulde se thi vertu, and thi glorie.

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

For thi merci is betere than lyues; my lippis schulen herie thee.

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

So Y schal blesse thee in my lijf; and in thi name Y schal reise myn hondis.

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

Mi soule be fillid as with inner fatnesse and vttermere fatnesse; and my mouth schal herie with lippis of ful out ioiyng.

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

So Y hadde mynde on thee on my bed, in morewtidis Y shal thenke of thee;

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

for thou were myn helpere. And in the keueryng of thi wyngis Y schal make `ful out ioye, my soule cleuede after thee;

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

thi riythond took me vp.

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

Forsothe thei souyten in veyn my lijf, thei schulen entre in to the lower thingis of erthe;

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

thei schulen be bitakun in to the hondis of swerd, thei schulen be maad the partis of foxis.

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 schal be glad in God; and alle men schulen be preysid that sweren in hym, for the mouth of hem, that speken wickid thingis, is stoppid.
