Sòm 86
1 Yon priyè a David Prete m zòrèy Ou, O SENYÈ e reponn mwen. Paske mwen aflije e malere.
A prayer of David. Please listen to me, Lord! Please answer me, for I am weak and really need your help!
2 Konsève nanm mwen, paske mwen se yon nonm fidèl. Ou menm, Bondye mwen an, sove sèvitè Ou ki mete konfyans nan Ou a.
Don't let me die, for I am faithful to you. Save me, for I am your servant and I trust in you. You are my God.
3 Montre m gras Ou, O SENYÈ, paske se a Ou menm mwen kriye tout lajounen.
Be kind to me, Lord, for I call out to you all day long.
4 Fè nanm a sèvitè Ou a kontan, paske a Ou menm, SENYÈ, mwen leve nanm mwen.
Make me happy, Lord, for I've dedicated my life to you.
5 Paske Ou menm, Senyè a, Ou plen bonte e Ou prèt pou padone, ranpli avèk lanmou dous, pou tout (sila) ki rele sou non Ou yo.
For you, Lord, are good; you are forgiving and full of trustworthy love for all who come to you.
6 Prete zòrèy Ou, O SENYÈ, a lapriyè mwen. Prete atansyon a vwa siplikasyon mwen yo.
Lord, please listen to my prayer. Hear my call for help.
7 Nan jou twoub mwen an, mwen va rele Ou, paske Ou va reponn mwen.
When I'm in trouble I cry out to you because I know you will answer me.
8 Nanpwen tankou Ou pami dye yo, O Senyè, ni nanpwen zèv tankou pa Ou yo.
There's no one like you among the “gods,” Lord. No one can do the things you do.
9 Tout nasyon ke Ou te fè yo, va vini pou adore devan Ou, O Senyè, e yo va bay non Ou glwa.
You created all the nations, and they will come and bow down before you, Lord. They will declare how wonderful you are.
10 Paske Ou gran e fè zèv ki mèvèye. Se Ou sèl ki Bondye.
For you are great, and do wonderful things! Only you are God.
11 Montre m chemen Ou an, O SENYÈ. Mwen va mache nan verite Ou. Fè kè m dispoze pou krent non Ou.
Lord, please teach me your way, so I can depend on your trustworthiness. Make me single-minded, so I can consistently honor the kind of person you are.
12 Mwen va ba Ou remèsiman, O SENYÈ, Bondye mwen an, avèk tout kè m. Mwen va bay glwa a non Ou jis pou tout tan.
Lord my God, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will praise your character forever.
13 Paske lanmou dous Ou anvè mwen gran, e Ou te delivre nanm mwen soti nan fon sejou lanmò yo. (Sheol h7585)
For your trustworthy love for me is so great; you have saved me from death. (Sheol h7585)
14 O Bondye, mesye awogan yo te leve kont mwen, yon bann mesye vyolan ap chache lavi mwen. Yo pa mete Ou devan yo.
God, arrogant people are attacking me, vicious people are trying to kill me. To them you count for nothing.
15 Men Ou menm, O SENYÈ, Ou se yon Bondye ki plen ak gras avèk mizerikòd, lan nan kòlè e plen avèk lanmou dous ak verite.
But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to become angry, full of trustworthy love and faithfulness.
16 Vire vè mwen e fè m gras. O dispoze fòs Ou a sèvitè Ou a, e fè sekou a fis a sèvant Ou a.
Turn to me, have mercy on me. Give me your strength, your servant; save the son of your servant-girl.
17 Montre m yon sign bonte Ou, pou (sila) ki rayi mwen yo kapab wè l e vin wont. Paske Ou menm, O SENYÈ, te fè m sekou, e te konsole mwen.
Show me a sign that you approve of me! Those who hate me will see it, and they will be ashamed because you, Lord, have helped me.
