Sòm 97
1 SENYÈ a renye, kite latè rejwi! Kite tout lil yo fè kè kontan!
The Lord reigns! Let the earth be glad, and distant lands be full of joy!
2 Nwaj ak fènwa pwofon ap antoure Li. Ladwati avèk jistis se fondasyon twòn Li an.
He is surrounded by clouds and thick darkness; his throne is founded on justice and right.
3 Se dife ki ale devan L pou brile tout advèsè Li yo toupatou.
Flames proceed him, burning up his enemies on every side.
4 Loray Li yo klere tout mond lan. Latè wè e li tranble.
His flashes of lightning light up the world; the earth watches and trembles.
5 Mòn yo fonn tankou lasi devan prezans SENYÈ a, devan prezans SENYÈ tout latè a.
The mountains melt like wax in the presence of the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth.
6 Syèl yo deklare ladwati Li e tout pèp yo te wè glwa Li.
The heavens proclaim his goodness; everyone sees 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.
All those who worship idols are humiliated, those who are proud of their idols—for all “gods” bow down before him.
8 Sion te tande sa e te rejwi. Fi a Sion yo te rejwi akoz jijman Ou, O SENYÈ.
Jerusalem hears this and celebrates; all the towns of Judah are happy because of your judgments, 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 the highest of all, ruling over the whole earth; your position is far above any other god.
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 love the Lord, hate evil! He protects the lives of those who are faithful to him, and saves them from the power of wicked people.
11 Se limyè ki simen kon semans pou moun ladwati yo, ak kè kontan pou (sila) ak kè ki dwat yo.
Light shines on those who do good, giving joy to those who live right.
12 Fè kè kontan nan SENYÈ a, nou menm ki moun dwat yo e bay remèsiman a non sen Li an.
Be happy in the Lord, you who do right, and thank him for his holy nature!
