Psalms 56

1 To the Chief Musician. Upon "The Dove of God from the distant Sea." David’s. A precious Psalm. When the Philistines seized him in Gath. Show me favour, O God, For weak man hath panted for me, All the day, a fighter oppresseth me:

Pou chèf sanba yo. Se pou yo chante sou lè chante ki di: Pijon ki sou pye terebent byen lwen yo. Se yon chante David te ekri lè moun Filisti yo te mete men sou li nan lavil Gat. Bondye papa mwen! Gen pitye pou mwen, paske mwen gen anpil moun k'ap pousib mwen. Tout lajounen y'ap fè m' lagè, y'ap toumante mwen.

2 Mine adversaries have panted all the day, For, many, are fighting with me, loftily.

Tout lajounen lènmi m' yo ap pousib mwen. Se pa ti anpil yo anpil, moun k'ap fè m' lagè yo.

3 What day I am afraid, I, unto thee will direct my confidence.

Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la, lè mwen pè, se nan ou mwen mete tout konfyans mwen.

4 In God, I will praise his cause, —In God, have I trusted, I will not fear, What can flesh do unto me?

Mwen gen konfyans nan Bondye. M'ap fè lwanj pawòl li. Mwen pa pè anyen. Kisa lèzòm ka fè m'?

5 All the day, they wrest, my words, Against me, all their devices are for mischief;

Tout lajounen y'ap manke m' dega. Se yon sèl lide yo gen nan tèt yo: se fè mwen mal!

6 They stir up strife—they lie hid, They, mark my steps, —Seeing they have waited for my life.

Yo mete tèt yo ansanm, yo kache kò yo, y'ap veye tout vire tounen mwen. Y'ap tann okazyon konsa pou yo touye m'.

7 Because of iniquity, recompense thou them, —In anger, bring thou down, the peoples, O God.

Pa gen sove pou yo, paske yo fè twòp. Lè ou an kòlè, Bondye, fè pèp yo vin ba devan ou.

8 My wandering, hast, thou, recorded, —Put thou my tears in thy bottle, Are they not in thy record?

Ou konnen tout kouri kache mwen yo. Ou konnen jan dlo koule nan je m'. Eske tout sa pa ekri nan liv ou a?

9 Then, shall my foes turn back, in the day I cry, This, I know, for God is mine!

Se poutèt sa lènmi m' yo gen pou kouri ale lè m' rele ou. Mwen konnen Bondye pou mwen.

10 In God, will I praise with good cause: In Yahweh, will I praise with good cause;

M'ap fè lwanj pawòl Bondye. Wi, m'ap fè lwanj pawòl Seyè a.

11 In God, have I trusted, I will not fear, What can a son of earth do unto me!

Mwen gen konfyans nan Bondye, mwen pa pè anyen. Kisa lèzòm ka fè mwen?

12 Upon me, O God, are thy vows, I will pay back praises unto thee.

O Bondye, m'ap ofri ou sa mwen te pwomèt ou yo, m'ap ofri bèt pou yo touye pou ou pou m' di ou mèsi.

13 For thou hast rescued my soul from death, Wilt thou not [rescue] my feet from stumbling? That I may walk to and fro, before God, In the light of life.

Paske ou pa kite m' mouri, ou pa kite m' bite, pou m' kapab mache devan ou nan mitan bèl limyè k'ap klere moun k'ap viv pou ou yo.
