Sòm 108

1 Se yon chante David. Mwen pare, Bondye. Mwen pral chante, mwen pral fè lwanj ou ak tout kè mwen.

A song. A psalm of David. My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast. I would sing, I would make music; awake, my soul.

2 M'ap pran gita mwen, m'ap pran bandjo mwen, mwen pral fè solèy leve!

Awake, harp and lyre; I would wake the dawn.

3 Seyè, m'a fè lwanj ou nan mitan pèp yo! M'a chante pou ou nan mitan tout nasyon yo!

I would praise you among the peoples, O Lord; make music among the nations to you.

4 Ou renmen nou anpil anpil, ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou.

For great to heaven is your love, and your faithfulness to the clouds.

5 Bondye, fè wè nan syèl la jan ou gen pouvwa! Fè yo wè pouvwa ou sou tout latè!

Be exalted, O God, o’er the heavens, and your glory o’er all the earth.

6 Delivre nou ak pouvwa ou! Reponn nou lè nou lapriyè nan pye ou, pou moun ou renmen anpil yo ka jwenn delivrans.

So those you love may be rescued, save by your right hand and answer us.

7 Bondye rete kote ki apa pou li a, li di: -Mwen kontan anpil. Mwen pral separe lavil Sichèm. Mwen pral fè apantaj Fon Soukòt.

God did solemnly swear: ‘As victor will I divide Shechem, portion out the valley of Succoth.

8 Peyi Galarad, se pou mwen li ye. Peyi Manase tou. M'ap fè peyi Efrayim tounen yon kas pou pwoteje tèt mwen. Peyi Jida, se baton kòmandman m' li ye.

Mine is Gilead, mine is Manasseh, Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my sceptre of rule,

9 Men, m'ap fè peyi Moab sèvi m' kivèt pou m' fè twalèt mwen. M'ap poze men m' sou peyi Edon. Peyi Filisti a menm, m'ap mache pran l' ak kè kontan.

Moab the pot that I wash in, on Edom I hurl my sandal, I shout o’er Philistia in triumph.’

10 Ki moun ki pou mennen m' nan lavil ki byen gade a? Ki moun ki pou mennen m' lavil Edon?

O to be brought to the fortified city! O to be led into Edom!

11 Eske se pa ou menm, Bondye, ki pou fè sa pou mwen, ou menm ki te vire do ban nou, ou menm ki pa soti ansanm ak lame nou yo ankò?

Have you not spurned us, O God? You do not march forth with our armies.

12 Tanpri, ede nou goumen kont lènmi nou yo, paske sekou lèzòm se pawòl nan bouch.

Grant us help from the foe, for human help is worthless.

13 Avèk Bondye bò kote nou, n'a fè bèl bagay nan lagè. Se li menm k'ap kraze lènmi nou yo anba pye l'.

With God we shall yet do bravely, he himself will tread down our foes.
