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 chief musician; set to the Gittith style. A psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely is the place where you live, Yahweh 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.
I long for the courts of Yahweh, my desire for it has made me exhausted. My heart and all of my being call out to 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.
Even the sparrow has found her a house and the swallow a nest for herself where she may lay her young near your altars, Yahweh 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.
Blessed are they who live in your house; they praise you continually. (Selah)
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.
Blessed is the man whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways up to Zion.
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 Tears, they find springs of water to drink. The early rains cover it with blessings.
7 Yo sòti nan fòs pou antre nan fòs yo. Yo chak parèt devan Bondye nan Sion.
They go from strength to strength; every one of them appears before God in Zion.
8 O SENYÈ dèzame yo, tande lapriyè mwen. Prete zorèy Ou, O Bondye Jacob la! Tan
Yahweh God of hosts, hear my prayer; God of Jacob, listen to what I am saying! (Selah)
9 Gade byen boukliye nou an. Gade sou vizaj onksyone Ou a.
God, watch over our shield; show concern for your 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 one day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to live within the tents of the wicked.
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 Yahweh God is our sun and shield; Yahweh will give grace and glory; he does not withhold any good thing from those who walk in integrity.
12 O SENYÈ dèzame yo! A la moun ki mete konfyans li nan Ou a beni!
Yahweh of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
