Psalms 9
1 For the Chief Musician. Set to “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm by David. I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.
Pou chèf sanba yo. Sou menm lè ak chante ki di: Lanmò pitit gason an. Se yon sòm David. M'a fè lwanj ou ak tout kè m', Seyè. M'a rakonte tout bèl mèvèy ou yo.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
Se ou menm k'ap fè m' chante, se ou menm k'ap fè kè m' kontan. Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la, m'a chante lwanj ou.
3 When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.
Parèt ou parèt, lènmi m' yo fè bak. Yo pran tranble, yo tonbe, yo mouri.
4 For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.
Tankou yon jij ki san patipri, ou chita sou fotèy ou. ou fè m' jistis, ou defann kòz mwen.
5 You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
Ou regle moun lòt nasyon yo, ou detwi mechan yo. Ou efase non yo nèt pou tout tan.
6 The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
Pa gen lènmi ankò, yo fini nèt. Ata lavil yo ou vide atè. Pa gen anyen pou fè moun chonje yo ankò.
7 But the LORD reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.
Men Seyè a, se wa li ye pou tout tan. Li mete fotèy li la pou l' fè jistis.
8 He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
Li gouvènen tout bagay avèk jistis. Li jije tout moun san patipri.
9 The LORD will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.
Moun y'ap peze yo, se bò kote Seyè a yo jwenn pwoteksyon. Se la yo jwenn yon kote pou yo kache, lè yo nan tray.
10 Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
Moun ki konnen ou, Seyè, y'ap mete konfyans yo nan ou. Paske, ou pa lage moun k'ap chache ou.
11 Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.
Ann fè lwanj Seyè a k'ap gouvènen sou mòn Siyon an. Ann fè tout nasyon yo konnen sa li te fè.
12 For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted.
Bondye chonje moun k'ap soufri yo, li pa bliye rèl malere yo, li pini moun ki fè yo mal.
13 Have mercy on me, LORD. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death,
Gen pitye pou mwen, Seyè! Gade nan ki mizè moun ki rayi m' yo mete m'. vin sove m'! Pa kite m' mouri, Seyè,
14 that I may show all of your praise. I will rejoice in your salvation in the gates of the daughter of Zion.
pou m' ka kanpe devan moun lavil Jerizalèm yo, pou m' di yo poukisa m'ap fè lwanj ou. M'ap kontan nèt, paske ou te delivre m'.
15 The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
Moun lòt nasyon yo fouye yon gwo twou: se yo menm ki tonbe ladan li. Yo tann yon pèlen: se pye yo ki pran ladan li.
16 The LORD has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. (Meditation, Selah)
Seyè a fè yo konnen ki moun li ye, li jije yo san patipri. Sa mechan yo fè a tounen kont yo.
Tout mechan yo gen pou mouri. Tout moun ki bliye gen Bondye gen pou mouri tou. (Sheol h7585)
18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
Se pa tout tan yo ka bliye moun ki nan mizè. Se pa tout tan yo ka wete espwa moun ki nan lafliksyon.
19 Arise, LORD! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.
Leve non, Seyè! Pa kite lèzòm genyen batay la! Mennen moun lòt nasyon yo vin jije devan ou.
20 Put them in fear, LORD. Let the nations know that they are only men. (Selah)
Fè kè yo kase, Seyè! Fè yo konnen se moun ase yo ye.
