Sòm 71
1 Nan Ou, O SENYÈ, mwen te pran refij. Pa janm kite mwen vin wont.
In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.
2 Nan ladwati Ou, delivre mwen e fè m sekou. Panche zòrèy Ou bò kote m e sove mwen.
In Your justice, rescue and deliver me; incline Your ear and save me.
3 Devni pou mwen wòch abitasyon mwen an, kote mwen kab vini tout tan. Ou te pase lòd pou sove mwen, paske Ou se wòch mwen ak sitadèl mwen.
Be my rock of refuge, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for You are my rock and my fortress.
4 Delivre mwen, O Bondye mwen, nan men a mechan yo, Fè m sòti nan ponyèt a malfektè a ak san pitye a,
Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and ruthless.
5 Paske Ou se espwa m, O SENYÈ Bondye, Ou se konfyans mwen soti nan jenès mwen.
For You are my hope, O Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.
6 Pa Ou menm, mwen te twouve soutyen depi lè m te fèt. Se Ou menm ki te retire mwen nan vant manman m. Tout tan se Ou menm ke m louwe.
I have leaned on You since birth; You pulled me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always for You.
7 Mwen parèt kon yon mèvèy pou anpil moun, men se Ou ki fò refij mwen.
I have become a portent to many, but You are my strong refuge.
8 Bouch mwen plen avèk lwanj Ou ak glwa Ou tout lajounen.
My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your splendor all day long.
9 Pa jete mwen akote nan tan vyeyès mwen. Pa abandone mwen lè fòs mwen vin febli.
Do not discard me in my old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails.
10 Paske Lènmi m yo te pale kont mwen. (Sila) k ap veye pou pran lavi m yo ap pran konsèy ansanm,
For my enemies speak against me, and those who lie in wait for my life conspire,
11 Y ap di: “Bondye fin abandone li. Annou kouri dèyè l, e sezi li. Paske nanpwen moun ki pou delivre l.”
saying, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for there is no one to rescue him.”
12 O Bondye, pa rete lwen mwen. O Bondye m, fè vit a sekou mwen!
Be not far from me, O God. Hurry, O my God, to help me.
13 Kite (sila) ki advèsè a nanm mwen yo vin wont e manje nèt. Kite yo kouvri avèk repwòch ak dezonè k ap chache blese mwen.
May the accusers of my soul be ashamed and consumed; may those who seek my harm be covered with scorn and disgrace.
14 Men pou mwen, mwen va kenbe espwa m pou tout tan. Mwen va bay Ou lwanj plis toujou.
But I will always hope and will praise You more and more.
15 Bouch mwen va pale ladwati Ou, ak sali Ou tout lajounen, menmsi mwen pa kab fin konnen fòs valè tout jou sa yo.
My mouth will declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot know their full measure.
16 Mwen va vini ak zèv pwisan SENYÈ Bondye a. Mwen va pale ladwati Ou, sèl de Ou menm.
I will enter in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim Your righteousness—Yours alone.
17 O Bondye, Ou te enstwi mwen depi jenès mwen. Jiska prezan, mwen toujou deklare mèvèy Ou yo.
O God, You have taught me from my youth, and to this day I proclaim Your marvelous deeds.
18 Wi, menm lè m vye ak cheve blanch, O Bondye, pa abandone m, jiskaske mwen fin deklare fòs Ou a jenerasyon (sila) a, ak pwisans Ou a tout (sila) k ap vini yo.
Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, until I proclaim Your power to the next generation, Your might to all who are to come.
19 Paske ladwati Ou, O Bondye, rive jis nan syèl yo. Ou menm ki te fè gwo bagay yo. O Bondye, se kilès ki tankou Ou menm?
Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God, You who have done great things. Who, O God, is like You?
20 Ou menm ki te fè m wè anpil twoub ak gwo pwoblèm, va fè m viv. Ou va mennen mwen monte soti nan fon tè yo.
Though You have shown me many troubles and misfortunes, You will revive me once again. Even from the depths of the earth You will bring me back up.
21 Ke Ou fè lonè mwen vin plis e vire ban m konsolasyon ankò.
You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.
22 Konsa, mwen va louwe Ou avèk ap la pou fidelite Ou, O Bondye mwen. A Ou menm, mwen va chante lwanj avèk gita, O (Sila) Ki Sen an Israël la.
So I will praise You with the harp for Your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to You with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.
23 Lèv mwen va rele ak jwa lè mwen chante lwanj a Ou menm pou nanm mwen ke Ou te rachte a.
When I sing praise to You my lips will shout for joy, along with my soul, which You have redeemed.
24 Lang mwen, anplis, va pale ladwati Ou tout lajounen. Paske yo wont, yo imilye, (Sila) ki te chache fè m mal yo.
My tongue will indeed proclaim Your righteousness all day long, for those who seek my harm are disgraced and confounded.
