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,
'The Erring One,' by David, that he sung to Jehovah concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah, my God, in Thee I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me.
2 sof ke li ta chire nanm mwen tankou yon lyon, epi rale m akote pandan pa gen moun pou delivre m.
Lest he tear as a lion my soul, Rending, and there is no deliverer.
3 O SENYÈ mwen, si mwen menm te fè sa, si gen enjistis nan men m,
O Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,
4 si mwen te rekonpanse mal a zanmi mwen, oswa te piyaje (sila) ki te lènmi mwen a san koz la,
If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw mine adversary 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
An enemy pursueth my soul, and overtaketh, And treadeth down to the earth my life, And my honour placeth 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.
Rise, O Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast commanded:
7 Kite asanble a tout pèp yo antoure Ou. Gouvènen yo, depi an wo.
And a company of peoples compass Thee, And over it on high turn Thou back,
8 Se SENYÈ a ki jije pèp yo. Fè m jistis O SENYÈ, selon ladwati mwen ak jan mwen kanpe fèm.
Jehovah doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on me,
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.
Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.
10 Boukliye mwen se avèk Bondye, ki sove (sila) ki dwat yo.
My shield [is] on God, Saviour of the upright in heart!
11 Bondye se yon jij ki jis e ki rayi enjistis chak jou.
God [is] a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all times.
12 Si yon nonm pa repanti, La p file nepe Li. Li deja koube banza Li; Li prèt.
If [one] turn not, His sword he sharpeneth, His bow he hath trodden — He prepareth it,
13 Anplis, Li fin prepare pou kont Li zam mòtèl yo. Li fè flèch ak shaf ki brile yo.
Yea, for him He hath prepared Instruments of death, His arrows for burning pursuers He maketh.
14 Gade byen, l ap lite nan mechanste. Wi, li plante jèm mechanste a, epi li vin bay nesans a tout sa ki fo.
Lo, he travaileth [with] iniquity, And he hath conceived perverseness, And hath brought forth falsehood.
15 Li te fouye yon twou, kreve l nèt, e vin tonbe nan twou ke li te fè a.
A pit he hath prepared, and he diggeth it, And he falleth into a ditch he maketh.
16 Mechanste li va retounen sou pwòp tèt li, e vyolans pa l ap desann sou pwòp fwon li.
Return doth his perverseness on his head, And on his crown his violence cometh down.
17 Mwen va bay remèsiman a SENYÈ a selon ladwati Li. Mwen va chante lwanj a non SENYÈ a, Toupwisan an.
I thank Jehovah, According to His righteousness, And praise the name of Jehovah Most High!
