Sòm 77

1 Pou direktè koral la: pou Jeduthun. Yon Sòm Asaph Vwa m leve vè Bondye! Mwen kriye pou sekou. Vwa m leve vè Bondye pou L tande mwen.

For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by Asaph. My cry goes to God! Indeed, I cry to God for help, and for him to listen to me.

2 Nan jou gwo twoub mwen an, mwen te chache SENYÈ a. Nan nwit, mwen te lonje men m san poze. Nanm mwen te refize rekonfòte.

In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord. My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn’t get tired. My soul refused to be comforted.

3 Lè mwen sonje Bondye, alò, lespri m twouble. Mwen fè soupi; lespri m febli nèt.

I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. (Selah)

4 Ou te kenbe zye mwen yo louvri. Mwen tèlman twouble ke m pa kab pale.

You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can’t speak.

5 Mwen te reflechi sou jou lansyen yo, ane lontan yo.

I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

6 Chanson mwen, mwen va sonje pandan lannwit. Mwen reflechi tout tan nan kè mwen. Lespri m reflechi jis rive nan fon kè m:

I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires:

7 “Èske Senyè a va rejte nou pou tout tan? Èske Li p ap janm kite favè Li vini sou nou ankò?

“Will the Lord reject us forever? Will he be favorable no more?

8 Èske lanmou dous Li a kite nou pou tout tan? Èske pwomès Li yo fini nèt?

Has his loving kindness vanished forever? Does his promise fail for generations?

9 Èske Bondye te bliye gras Li, Oswa nan kòlè Li, èske Li te retire mizerikòd Li a?” Tan

Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?” (Selah)

10 Epi mwen te di: “Se chagren mwen ki fè m panse men dwat a Wo Pwisan an vin chanje.”

Then I thought, “I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of the Most High.”

11 Mwen va sonje zèv SENYÈ yo. Anverite, Mwen va sonje mèvèy Ou yo nan tan ansyen yo.

I will remember the LORD’s deeds; for I will remember your wonders of old.

12 Mwen va reflechi tout tan sou tout zèv Ou yo, pou m sonje nan kè m tout sa Ou te fè.

I will also meditate on all your work, and consider your doings.

13 Chemen Ou a, O Bondye, se apa. Ki dye ki gran tankou Bondye pa nou an?

Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is great like God?

14 Ou se Bondye ki fè zèv mèvèy. Ou te fè pwisans Ou rekonèt pami pèp yo.

You are the God who does wonders. You have made your strength known among the peoples.

15 Avèk pwòp pouvwa Ou, Ou te rachte pèp Ou a, fis a Jacob yo avèk Joseph. Tan

You have redeemed your people with your arm, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)

16 Dlo yo te wè Ou, O Bondye. Dlo yo te wè Ou. Yo te nan gran doulè. Anplis, fon yo te boulvèse.

The waters saw you, God. The waters saw you, and they writhed. The depths also convulsed.

17 Nwaj yo te vide gwo dlo. Syèl yo te bay gwo kout loray. Flèch Ou yo te lime pa isit e pa lòtbò.

The clouds poured out water. The skies resounded with thunder. Your arrows also flashed around.

18 Bwi tonnè a eklate nan toubiyon an. Loray yo te klere tout tè a. Mond lan te tranble. Li te souke.

The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.

19 Chemen Ou an te nan lanmè a, e vwa Ou nan dlo pwisan yo. Kote Ou mache p ap kab dekouvri menm.

Your way was through the sea, your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.

20 Ou te dirije pèp Ou a tankou yon bann, pa men Moïse avèk Aaron.

You led your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
