Sòm 97

1 SENYÈ a renye, kite latè rejwi! Kite tout lil yo fè kè kontan!

The Lord is King, let the earth have joy; let all the sea-lands be glad.

2 Nwaj ak fènwa pwofon ap antoure Li. Ladwati avèk jistis se fondasyon twòn Li an.

Dark clouds are round him; his kingdom is based on righteousness and right judging.

3 Se dife ki ale devan L pou brile tout advèsè Li yo toupatou.

Fire goes before him, burning up all those who are against him round about.

4 Loray Li yo klere tout mond lan. Latè wè e li tranble.

His bright flames give light to the world; the earth saw it with fear.

5 Mòn yo fonn tankou lasi devan prezans SENYÈ a, devan prezans SENYÈ tout latè a.

The mountains became like wax at the coming of the Lord, at the coming of the Lord of all the earth.

6 Syèl yo deklare ladwati Li e tout pèp yo te wè glwa Li.

The heavens gave out the news of his righteousness, and all the people saw his glory.

7 Kite tout (sila) ki sèvi limaj taye yo vin wont, ki vin ògeye sou zafè zidòl yo. Adore Li, tout dye yo.

Shamed be all those who give worship to images, and take pride in false gods; give him worship, all you gods.

8 Sion te tande sa e te rejwi. Fi a Sion yo te rejwi akoz jijman Ou, O SENYÈ.

Zion gave ear and was glad; and the daughters of Judah were full of joy, because of your decisions, O Lord.

9 Paske Ou menm se SENYÈ Pi Wo a sou tout latè. Ou leve pi wo anpil pase tout dye yo.

For you, Lord, are most high over the earth; you are lifted up over all other gods.

10 Nou menm ki renmen SENYÈ a, rayi mal la! Li pwoteje nanm a fidèl Li yo. Li delivre yo nan men a mechan yo.

You who are lovers of the Lord, be haters of evil; he keeps the souls of his saints; he takes them out of the hand of sinners.

11 Se limyè ki simen kon semans pou moun ladwati yo, ak kè kontan pou (sila) ak kè ki dwat yo.

Light is shining on the lovers of righteousness, and for the upright in heart there is joy.

12 Fè kè kontan nan SENYÈ a, nou menm ki moun dwat yo e bay remèsiman a non sen Li an.

Be glad in the Lord, you upright men; praising the memory of his holy name.
