Sòm 86

1 Yon priyè a David Prete m zòrèy Ou, O SENYÈ e reponn mwen. Paske mwen aflije e malere.

A Prayer. David’s. Bow down, O Yahweh, thine ear—answer me, For, oppressed and needy, am I;

2 Konsève nanm mwen, paske mwen se yon nonm fidèl. Ou menm, Bondye mwen an, sove sèvitè Ou ki mete konfyans nan Ou a.

O guard my life, For, a man of lovingkindness, am I, —Save thy servant, O thou my God, [Thy servant] who trusteth in thee;

3 Montre m gras Ou, O SENYÈ, paske se a Ou menm mwen kriye tout lajounen.

Show me favour, O My Lord, For, unto thee, do I cry, all the day;

4 Fè nanm a sèvitè Ou a kontan, paske a Ou menm, SENYÈ, mwen leve nanm mwen.

Rejoice the soul of thy servant, For, unto thee, O My Lord, my soul, do I lift.

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, thou, O My Lord, art good and forgiving, And abundant in lovingkindness, to all who call upon thee.

6 Prete zòrèy Ou, O SENYÈ, a lapriyè mwen. Prete atansyon a vwa siplikasyon mwen yo.

Give ear, O Yahweh, unto my prayer, And attend unto the voice of my supplications.

7 Nan jou twoub mwen an, mwen va rele Ou, paske Ou va reponn mwen.

In the day of my distress, will I call upon thee, For thou wilt answer me.

8 Nanpwen tankou Ou pami dye yo, O Senyè, ni nanpwen zèv tankou pa Ou yo.

There is none like unto thee, among the gods, O My Lord, And nothing like thy works.

9 Tout nasyon ke Ou te fè yo, va vini pou adore devan Ou, O Senyè, e yo va bay non Ou glwa.

All nations whom thou hast made, Shall come in and bow down before thee, O My Lord, That they may glorify thy Name.

10 Paske Ou gran e fè zèv ki mèvèye. Se Ou sèl ki Bondye.

For great thou art, and doest wondrous things, Thou, O God, of thyself alone.

11 Montre m chemen Ou an, O SENYÈ. Mwen va mache nan verite Ou. Fè kè m dispoze pou krent non Ou.

Point out to me, O Yahweh, thy way, I will walk steadfastly in thy truth, My heart will rejoice to revere thy Name.

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.

I will give thee thanks, Adonay, my God, with all my heart, And will glorify thy Name unto times age-abiding.

13 Paske lanmou dous Ou anvè mwen gran, e Ou te delivre nanm mwen soti nan fon sejou lanmò yo. (Sheol h7585)

For, thy lovingkindness, is great towards me, And thou hast rescued my soul from Hades beneath. (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.

O God, the insolent, have arisen against me, And, the assembly of tyrants, have sought my life, And have not set thee before them.

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, thou, O My Lord, art, A God of compassion and favour, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness a 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 thou unto me, and show me favour, —Give thy strength to thy servant, And save the son of thy handmaid.

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.

Perform with me a token for good, —That they who hate me may see and be ashamed, In that, thou, Yahweh, hast helped me and comforted me.
