Sòm 7
1 Yon Sòm David, ke li te chante a SENYÈ a pou yon moun tribi Benjamin ki te rele Cush. O SENYÈ Bondye mwen an, nan Ou mwen kache. Sove mwen de tout (sila) k ap kouri dèyè m yo e fè m sekou,
Shigaion of Dauid, which he sang unto the Lord, concerning the wordes of Chush the sonne of Iemini. O Lord my God, in thee I put my trust: saue me from all that persecute me, and deliuer me,
2 sof ke li ta chire nanm mwen tankou yon lyon, epi rale m akote pandan pa gen moun pou delivre m.
Least he deuoure my soule like a lion, and teare it in pieces, while there is none to helpe.
3 O SENYÈ mwen, si mwen menm te fè sa, si gen enjistis nan men m,
O Lord my God, if I haue done this thing, if there be any wickednes in mine handes,
4 si mwen te rekonpanse mal a zanmi mwen, oswa te piyaje (sila) ki te lènmi mwen a san koz la,
If I haue rewarded euill vnto him that had peace with mee, (yea I haue deliuered him that vexed me without cause)
5 kite lènmi an kouri dèyè nanm mwen jiskaske li pran l, epi kite li foule lavi mwen jis atè. Fè glwa mwen kouche nèt nan pousyè a. Tan
Then let the enemie persecute my soule and take it: yea, let him treade my life downe vpon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. (Selah)
6 Leve, O SENYÈ, nan kòlè Ou; leve Ou menm kont raj ladvèsè mwen yo. Leve Ou menm pou mwen; Ou menm ki te etabli jijman an.
Arise, O Lord, in thy wrath, and lift vp thy selfe against the rage of mine enemies, and awake for mee according to the iudgement that thou hast appointed.
7 Kite asanble a tout pèp yo antoure Ou. Gouvènen yo, depi an wo.
So shall the Congregation of the people compasse thee about: for their sakes therefore returne on hie.
8 Se SENYÈ a ki jije pèp yo. Fè m jistis O SENYÈ, selon ladwati mwen ak jan mwen kanpe fèm.
The Lord shall iudge the people: Iudge thou me, O Lord, according to my righteousnesse, and according to mine innocencie, that is in mee.
9 Alò, mete fen a mechanste malfektè yo, men etabli (sila) ki dwat yo. Paske se ladwati Bondye ki fè prèv nan kè avèk panse moun.
Oh let the malice of the wicked come to an ende: but guide thou the iust: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reines.
10 Boukliye mwen se avèk Bondye, ki sove (sila) ki dwat yo.
My defence is in God, who preserueth the vpright in heart.
11 Bondye se yon jij ki jis e ki rayi enjistis chak jou.
God iudgeth the righteous, and him that contemneth God euery day.
12 Si yon nonm pa repanti, La p file nepe Li. Li deja koube banza Li; Li prèt.
Except he turne, he hath whet his sword: he hath bent his bowe and made it readie.
13 Anplis, Li fin prepare pou kont Li zam mòtèl yo. Li fè flèch ak shaf ki brile yo.
Hee hath also prepared him deadly weapons: hee will ordeine his arrowes for them that persecute me.
14 Gade byen, l ap lite nan mechanste. Wi, li plante jèm mechanste a, epi li vin bay nesans a tout sa ki fo.
Beholde, hee shall trauaile with wickednes: for he hath conceiued mischiefe, but he shall bring foorth a lye.
15 Li te fouye yon twou, kreve l nèt, e vin tonbe nan twou ke li te fè a.
Hee hath made a pitte and digged it, and is fallen into the pit that he made.
16 Mechanste li va retounen sou pwòp tèt li, e vyolans pa l ap desann sou pwòp fwon li.
His mischiefe shall returne vpon his owne head, and his crueltie shall fall vpon his owne pate.
17 Mwen va bay remèsiman a SENYÈ a selon ladwati Li. Mwen va chante lwanj a non SENYÈ a, Toupwisan an.
I wil praise the Lord according to his righteousnes, and will sing praise to the Name of the Lord most high.
