< Sòm 9 >
1 Pou direktè koral la; Yon sòm David Mwen va bay remèsiman a SENYÈ a ak tout kè m; Mwen va pale tout mèvèy Ou yo.
For the Chief Musician; set to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David. I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works.
2 Mwen va fè kè kontan e rejwi nan Ou; Mwen va chante lwanj non Ou, O Pi Wo a.
I will be glad and exult in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.
3 Lè lènmi m yo vire fè bak, yo tonbe e peri devan Ou.
When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence.
4 Paske Ou te bay soutyen a dwa m, avèk koz mwen ki jis; Ou chita sou twòn Ou e fè jijman avèk ladwati.
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.
5 Ou te fè chatiman nasyon yo; Ou te detwi mechan yo; Ou te efase non yo jis pou tout tan e pou tout tan.
Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6 Lènmi an te rive a nan fen, e li te kraze nèt. Ou te dechouke vil yo, jiskaske memwa a yo vin disparèt.
The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished.
7 Men SENYÈ a la jis pou tout tan; Li te etabli twòn Li pou jijman.
But Jehovah sitteth [as king] for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment;
8 Li va jije mond lan avèk ladwati; Li va rann jijman pou pèp yo avèk jistis.
And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
9 SENYÈ a va osi yon sitadèl pou (sila) ki oprime yo; yon sitadèl nan tan twoub la.
Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;
10 (Sila) ki konnen non Ou yo, va mete konfyans yo nan Ou, paske Ou menm, SENYÈ, pa janm abandone (sila) ki mete konfyans nan Ou yo.
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
11 Chante lwanj a SENYÈ a, ki rete nan Sion; deklare pami pèp yo zèv Li yo.
Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.
12 Paske (Sila) ki egzije san an sonje yo; Li pa janm bliye kri a (sila) ki oprime yo.
For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.
13 Fè m gras, O SENYÈ; gade byen soufrans mwen akoz (sila) ki rayi mwen yo, e fè m leve soti nan pòtay lanmò yo,
Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction [which I suffer] of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;
14 pou m kab pale tout lwanj a Ou menm. Konsa, nan pòtay a fi Sion yo, mwen kapab rejwi nan delivrans Ou.
That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.
15 Nasyon yo fin fonse kole nan twou fòs yo te fè a; nan pèlen yo te fè, pwòp pye yo vin kole ladann.
The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
16 Senyè a te leve tèt Li pou yo wè; Li te rann jijman an. Nan zèv a pwòp men Li, mechan an kole nan pwòp pèlen li. Tan
Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
17 Mechan yo va retounen nan sejou lanmò a; menm tout nasyon ki bliye Bondye yo. (Sheol )
The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God. (Sheol )
18 Paske malere yo p ap bliye jis pou tout tan, ni espwa a aflije yo p ap peri pou tout tan.
For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.
19 Leve, O SENYÈ, pa kite lòm vin genyen; kite nasyon yo jije devan Ou.
Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy sight.
20 Bay yo lakrent, O SENYÈ; fè nasyon yo konnen ke se sèlman lòm yo ye. Tan
Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
