Sòm 97
1 SENYÈ a renye, kite latè rejwi! Kite tout lil yo fè kè kontan!
Yahweh is the king! I want [everyone on] the earth to be glad/happy, and the [people who live on] the islands in the oceans to [also] rejoice [about that!]
2 Nwaj ak fènwa pwofon ap antoure Li. Ladwati avèk jistis se fondasyon twòn Li an.
There are very dark clouds around him [to hide him]; he rules [MTY] righteously/justly and fairly.
3 Se dife ki ale devan L pou brile tout advèsè Li yo toupatou.
He [sends] fire in front of him, and he completely burns all his enemies in that fire.
4 Loray Li yo klere tout mond lan. Latè wè e li tranble.
All around the world he causes lightning to flash; [people on] the earth see it, and it causes them to [be afraid and] tremble.
5 Mòn yo fonn tankou lasi devan prezans SENYÈ a, devan prezans SENYÈ tout latè a.
The mountains/hills melt like wax in front of Yahweh, the one who is the Lord, [who rules] over all the earth.
6 Syèl yo deklare ladwati Li e tout pèp yo te wè glwa Li.
The [angels in] [MTY] heaven proclaim that he acts righteously, and all the people-groups 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.
Everyone who worships idols should be ashamed; all those who are proud of their false gods [should realize that their gods are useless], [It is as though] all those gods bow down [to worship] Yahweh.
8 Sion te tande sa e te rejwi. Fi a Sion yo te rejwi akoz jijman Ou, O SENYÈ.
[The people] [MTY] of Jerusalem hear [about Yahweh] and are glad/happy, and [people in the other] [MTY] cities in Judah [also] rejoice, because Yahweh judges [and punishes wicked people].
9 Paske Ou menm se SENYÈ Pi Wo a sou tout latè. Ou leve pi wo anpil pase tout dye yo.
Yahweh is the supreme [king] over all the earth; he has very great power, and all the [other] gods have no power at all.
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.
Yahweh loves those who hate what [people do that] is evil; he protects the lives of his people, and he rescues them when the wicked [people try to harm them].
11 Se limyè ki simen kon semans pou moun ladwati yo, ak kè kontan pou (sila) ak kè ki dwat yo.
His light shines on righteous [people]; he causes those who are righteous to rejoice.
12 Fè kè kontan nan SENYÈ a, nou menm ki moun dwat yo e bay remèsiman a non sen Li an.
You righteous [people], rejoice about what Yahweh [has done], and thank him, our holy God!
