The eyes of all look in hope to you, and you give them their food in due season.
16 Ou louvri men ou, ou bay ni moun, ni bèt, ni plant tou sa yo bezwen.

18 Seyè a kanpe toupre moun k'ap rele l', toupre tout moun k'ap rele l' ak tout kè yo.
The Lord is near to all who call him, to all who call upon him in truth.
19 L'ap bay tout moun ki gen krentif pou li sa yo ta renmen. Li tande lè y'ap rele l', l'ap delivre yo.
He will fulfil the desires of those who fear him; he will hear their cry for help and save them.
20 L'ap pwoteje tout moun ki renmen l'. Men, l'ap detwi tout mechan yo.
The Lord is the keeper of all who love him, but all the wicked will he destroy.
21 M'a fè lwanj Seyè a ak bouch mwen. Se pou tout moun fè lwanj Bondye ki yon Bondye apa. Se pou yo fè l' tout tan tout tan.
My mouth will utter the praise of the Lord, and all life will bless his holy name for ever and ever.
