Sòm 65

1 Pou direktè koral la; yon Sòm David. Yon chan. Se lwanj k ap tan Ou, O Bondye nan Sion. Ve yo va fèt anvè Ou.

For the leader. A psalm of David. A song. It is seemly to praise you, O God, in Zion, and to you shall the vow be performed in Jerusalem.

2 O Ou menm ki tande priyè yo, a Ou menm tout moun vini.

O you who hear prayer, unto you shall all flesh come.

3 Inikite m t ap kanpe kont mwen; men pou transgresyon nou yo, Ou kouvri yo.

Our sins are too mighty for us, our transgressions you only can cover them.

4 A la beni se (sila) ke Ou chwazi a e mennen toupre, pou l ka rete nan lakou Ou. Nou va satisfè ak tout bagay ki bon lakay Ou, sen tanp Ou a.

Happy the person who you choose to live beside you in your courts. O may we be filled with the joys of your house, of your holy temple.

5 Avèk zèv mèvèy e dwat, Ou reponn nou, O Bondye sali nou an. Se Ou menm ki espwa tout pwen latè a, jis rive nan lanmè pi lwen an.

In dread deeds you loyally answer us, O God of our salvation, whom all ends of the earth put their trust in, and islands far away.

6 Ki etabli mòn yo pa pwisans Ou, Akoz Ou pran zam pwisans Ou.

By your strength you establish the hills, you are armed with might;

7 Ou kalme raj vag lanmè yo, Avèk gwo boulvèsman lanm yo.

you still the roaring of seas, and the turmoil of nations,

8 (Sila) ki rete jis nan dènye pwent latè yo kanpe byen etone a mèvèy Ou yo. Ou fè maten avèk aswè kriye ak jwa.

so that those who live at earth’s bounds are awed at your signs: the lands of the sunrise and sunset you make to ring with joy.

9 Ou vizite tè a e fè li gen abondans. Ou anrichi li anpil. Flèv Bondye a plen ak dlo. Ou prepare sereyal yo, paske se konsa ou oganizè l.

You visit and water the earth; you greatly enrich her with the river of God, which is full of water. You prepare the corn thereof,

10 Ou wouze tranch li yo an abondans. Ou fè do li vin poze. Ou fè l vin mou ak lapli an abondans; Ou beni kwasans plant li.

watering her furrows, settling her ridges; you make her soft with showers, and bless what grows thereon.

11 Ou te kouwone ane a avèk bonte Ou. Kabwa yo plen pwodwi rekòlt la.

You crown the year with your goodness, your chariot tracks drip with fatness.

12 Patiraj nan dezè yo gen abondans, Epi kolin yo mare senti yo ak jwa.

The desert pastures are lush, the hills greened with joy.

13 Chan yo abiye menm ak bann mouton. Vale yo fin ranpli ak sereyal. Yo rele fò ak lajwa! Konsa, yo chante.

The meadows are clothed with flocks, the valleys are covered with corn; they shout to each other and sing.
