Sòm 64

1 Pou direktè koral la. Yon Sòm David. Tande vwa m, O Bondye nan plent mwen an. Konsève lavi m kont laperèz lènmi an.

`In Ebrewe thus, To the victorie, the salm of Dauid. `In Jerom `thus, To the ouercomer, the song of Dauid. God, here thou my preier, whanne Y biseche; delyuere thou my soule fro the drede of the enemy.

2 Pwoteje m kont konsèy sekrè a malfektè yo, kont boulvèsman a (sila) ki fè mechanste yo.

Thou hast defendid me fro the couent of yuele doers; fro the multitude of hem that worchen wickidnesse.

3 Ki te file lang yo tankou nepe. Yo te pwente flèch pawòl anmè yo,

For thei scharpiden her tungis as a swerd, thei benten a bowe, a bittir thing;

4 pou tire an kachèt sou (sila) ki inosan yo. Sibitman yo tire sou li, san lakrent.

for to schete in priuetees hym that is vnwemmed.

5 Yo kenbe fèm a pwòp desen mechan yo. Yo pale sou pyèj ke y ap fòme an sekrè yo. Yo di: “Se kilès ki kab wè yo?”

Sodeynli thei schulen schete hym, and thei schulen not drede; thei maden stidefast to hem silf a wickid word. Thei telden, that thei schulden hide snaris; thei seiden, Who schal se hem?

6 Yo fè manèv pou enjistis e di: “Nou prè pou yon konplo byen fòme”. Paske panse lenteryè a moun se byen fon.

Thei souyten wickidnessis; thei souyten, and failiden in sekinge. A man neiyhe to deep herte;

7 Men Bondye va tire sou yo avèk yon flèch. Sibitman, yo va blese.

and God schal be enhaunsid. The arowis of `litle men ben maad the woundis of hem;

8 Konsa, yo va chape tonbe. Pwòp lang pa yo va kont yo. Tout moun ki wè yo va souke tèt yo.

and the tungis of hem ben maad sijk ayens hem. Alle men ben disturblid, that sien hem;

9 Nan moman sa a, tout moun va krent. Konsa, yo va deklare zèv Bondye yo. Ak sajès yo va konsidere sa Li te fè a.

and ech man dredde. And thei telden the werkis of God; and vndurstoden the dedis of God.

10 Nonm ladwati a va kontan nan SENYÈ a! Yo va pran refij nan Li, epi tout moun dwat yo va fè kè kontan.

The iust man schal be glad in the Lord, and schal hope in hym; and alle men of riytful herte schulen be preisid.
