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.
To the chief Musician. Upon Muthlabben. A Psalm of David. I will praise Jehovah with my whole heart; I will recount 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 rejoice in thee; I will sing forth thy name, O Most High.
3 Lè lènmi m yo vire fè bak, yo tonbe e peri devan Ou.
When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished 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 on 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 put 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.
O enemy! destructions are ended for ever. — Thou hast also destroyed cities, even the remembrance of them hath perished.
7 Men SENYÈ a la jis pou tout tan; Li te etabli twòn Li pou jijman.
But Jehovah sitteth for ever; he hath ordained his throne for judgment.
8 Li va jije mond lan avèk ladwati; Li va rann jijman pou pèp yo avèk jistis.
And it is he that will judge the world with righteousness; he shall execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.
9 SENYÈ a va osi yon sitadèl pou (sila) ki oprime yo; yon sitadèl nan tan twoub la.
And Jehovah will be a refuge to the oppressed one, a refuge in times of distress.
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 confide 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 psalms to Jehovah who dwelleth in Zion; tell among the peoples his doings.
12 Paske (Sila) ki egzije san an sonje yo; Li pa janm bliye kri a (sila) ki oprime yo.
For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them; the cry of the afflicted ones hath he not forgotten.
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,
Be gracious unto me, O Jehovah; consider mine affliction from them that hate me, lifting 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 declare all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will be joyful 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 that 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 is known [by] the judgment he hath executed: the wicked is ensnared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
The wicked shall be turned into Sheol, all the nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)
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 one shall not be forgotten alway; the hope of the meek shall not perish for ever.
19 Leve, O SENYÈ, pa kite lòm vin genyen; kite nasyon yo jije devan Ou.
Arise, 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, Jehovah: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
