Sòm 84
1 Pou direktè koral la; sou gitia la. Yon Sòm a fis a Koré yo. A la abitasyon Ou yo bèl, O SENYÈ dèzame yo!
“For the leader of the music. On the Gittith. A psalm of the sons of Korah.” How lovely are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
2 Nanm mwen anvi e menm gen gwo dezi pou lakou SENYÈ a. Kè m ak chè m chante avèk jwa a Bondye vivan an.
My soul longeth, yea, fainteth, for the courts of the LORD; My heart and my flesh cry aloud for the living God.
3 Zwazo a osi te twouve yon kay, e iwondèl la yon nich pou li menm, kote li kapab swaye pitit li yo pre lòtel Ou yo, Oh Wa m ak Bondye m.
The very sparrow findeth an abode, And the swallow a nest, where they may lay their young, By thine altars, O LORD of hosts, My king and my God!
4 A la beni (sila) ki demere nan lakay Ou yo beni! Y ap ba Ou lwanj jis pou tout tan.
Happy they who dwell in thy house, Who are continually praising thee! (Pause)
5 A la beni nonm ki gen fòs li nan Ou, Nan kè a (sila) lide fè wout nan gran chemen vè Sion an ye.
Happy the man whose glory is in thee, In whose heart are the ways [[to Jerusalem]]!
6 Lè yo pase nan vale Baca a, yo fè l fè yon sous; Premye lapli a kouvri li avèk benediksyon.
Passing through the valley of Baca, they make it a fountain; and the early rain covereth it with blessings.
7 Yo sòti nan fòs pou antre nan fòs yo. Yo chak parèt devan Bondye nan Sion.
They go on from strength to strength; Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.
8 O SENYÈ dèzame yo, tande lapriyè mwen. Prete zorèy Ou, O Bondye Jacob la! Tan
Hear my prayer, O LORD, God of hosts! Give ear, O God of Jacob! (Pause)
9 Gade byen boukliye nou an. Gade sou vizaj onksyone Ou a.
Look down, O God! our shield, And behold the face of thine anointed!
10 Paske yon sèl jou nan lakou Ou a, pi bon pase mil jou deyò. Pito m te geran pòt lakay Bondye mwen an, pase pou m ta abite nan tant a mechan yo.
For a day spent in thy courts is better than a thousand: I would rather stand on the threshold of the house of my God, Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 Paske SENYÈ a, Bondye a, se yon solèy ak yon boukliye. SENYÈ a va bay gras avèk glwa. Li pa refize anyen ki bon a (sila) ki mache dwat yo.
For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; The LORD giveth grace and glory; No good thing doth he withhold From them that walk uprightly.
12 O SENYÈ dèzame yo! A la moun ki mete konfyans li nan Ou a beni!
O LORD of hosts! Happy the man who trusteth in thee!
