Sòm 87

1 Yon Sòm a fis a Koré yo; Yon Chan Fondasyon Li nan mòn sen yo.

For the Sons of Korah. A Melody, a Song. His foundation, is in the holy mountains:

2 SENYÈ a renmen pòtay Sion yo plis pase tout lòt abitasyon a Jacob yo.

Yahweh loveth the gates of Zion, More than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Yo pale sou gran mèvèy ou, O gran vil Bondye. Tan

Glorious things, are to be spoken of thee, O city of God. (Selah)

4 Mwen va mete Rahab avèk Babylone pami (sila) ki rekonèt Mwen yo. Men vwala, Philistie, Tyr, avèk Éthiopie: “Tèl moun te fèt la”.

I will mention Rahab and Babylon, to them who know me—Lo! Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia, This one was born there.

5 Men selon Sion, li va pale, “Sa a ak (sila) a fèt ladann.” Pi Wo a, Li menm, va etabli Sion.

But, of Zion, it shall be said—This man and that were born in her, And the Highest himself shall establish her.

6 SENYÈ a va konte lè Li anrejistre tout pèp yo: “Sa a te fèt la”. Tan

Yahweh, will record, when he enrolleth the peoples, This one was born there. (Selah)

7 Epi (sila) ki chante ansanm avèk (sila) ki jwe flit yo va di: “Tout sous bwote yo, se nan ou”.

As well the singers as the flute-players [are saying], —All my springs, are in thee!
