Sòm 97

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

The Lord reigneth: let the earth reioyce: let the multitude of the yles be glad.

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

Cloudes and darkenes are round about him: righteousnesse and iudgement are the foundation of his throne.

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

There shall goe a fire before him, and burne vp his enemies round about.

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

His lightnings gaue light vnto the worlde: the earth sawe it and was afraide.

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

The mountaines melted like waxe 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 heauens declare his righteousnes, and all the people see 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.

Confounded be all they that serue grauen images, and that glory in idoles: worship him all ye gods.

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

Zion heard of it, and was glad: and the daughters of Iudah reioyced, because of thy iudgements, 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, Lord, art most High aboue all the earth: thou art much exalted aboue 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 loue the Lord, hate euill: he preserueth the soules of his Saints: hee will deliuer them from the hand of the wicked.

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

Light is sowen for the righteous, and ioy for the vpright in heart.

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

Reioyce ye righteous in the Lord, and giue thankes for his holy remembrance.
