Sòm 97

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

For David, when his land is established. The Lord reigns, let the earth exult, let many islands rejoice.

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

Cloud, and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the establishment of his throne.

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

Fire shall go before him, and burn up his enemies round about.

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

His lightnings appeared to the world; the earth saw, and trembled.

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

The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

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

The heavens have declared his righteousness, and all the people have seen 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.

Let all that worship graven images be ashamed, who boast of their idols; worship him, all ye his angels.

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

Sion heard and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judea exulted, because of thy judgments, O Lord.

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

For thou art Lord most high over all the earth; thou art greatly exalted above all 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.

Ye that love the Lord, hate evil; the Lord preserves the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from 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 sprung up for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

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

Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.
