Sòm 96

1 Chante a SENYÈ a yon chan tounèf! Chante a SENYÈ a tout latè a.

When the house was built after the Captivity, a Song of David. Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.

2 Chante a SENYÈ a! Beni non Li! Pwoklame bòn nouvèl Sali a Li de jou an jou.

Sing to the Lord, bless his name: proclaim his salvation from day to day.

3 Pale glwa Li pami nasyon yo, zèv mèvèy Li yo pami tout pèp yo.

Publish his glory amongst the Gentiles, his wonderful works amongst all people.

4 Paske gran se SENYÈ a! Li merite gran lwanj. Fòk Li resevwa krentif nou pi wo ke tout dye yo.

For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is terrible above all gods.

5 Paske tout dye a pèp yo se zidòl, men SENYÈ a te fè syèl yo.

For all the gods of the heathen are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.

6 Tout bèlte ak majeste devan L. Pwisans ak bèlte rete nan sanktiyè Li a.

Thanksgiving and beauty are before him: holiness and majesty are in his sanctuary.

7 Bay a SENYÈ a, O fanmi a pèp yo, bay a SENYÈ a glwa ak pwisans.

Bring to the Lord, you families of the Gentiles, bring to the Lord glory and honour.

8 Bay a SENYÈ a glwa a non Li. Pote yon ofrann e antre nan lakou Li yo.

Bring to the Lord the glory [becoming] his name: take offerings, and go into his courts.

9 Adore SENYÈ a nan abiman ki sen. Tranble devan L, tout latè a.

Worship the Lord in his holy court: let all the earth tremble before him.

10 Pale pami nasyon yo, “SENYÈ a renye.” Anverite, mond lan etabli byen solid. Li p ap ebranle menm. SENYÈ a va jije pèp yo avèk jistis.

Say amongst the heathen, The Lord reigns: for he has established the world so that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people in righteousness.

11 Kite syèl yo vin kontan e kite latè rejwi. Kite lanmè a fè gwo bri ansanm ak tout sa ki ladann.

Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth exult; let the sea be moved, and the fullness of it.

12 Kite chan yo leve fè kè kontan, ak tout sa ki ladann yo. Epi tout bwa nan forè yo va chante ak jwa

The plains shall rejoice, and all things in them: then shall all the trees of the wood exult before the presence of the Lord:

13 devan SENYÈ a, paske La p vini. Paske La p vini pou jije latè. Li va jije mond lan avèk ladwati e pèp yo ak fidelite Li.

for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth; he shall judge the world in righteousness, and the people with his truth.
