Sòm 26

1 Se yon sòm David. Fè m' jistis, Seyè, paske m'ap viv yon jan ki san repwòch. Mwen mete tout konfyans mwen nan ou, mwen pa janm lage ou.

A psalm of David. Defend me, O Lord, for my walk has been blameless; in the Lord have I trusted unswervingly:

2 Fouye m', Seyè. Wè tou sa ki nan kè mwen. Sonde m'. Wè tou sa ki nan lide m',

Examine me, Lord, and test me; test my heart and my mind.

3 Ou fè m' wè jan ou renmen mwen. M'ap viv yon jan ki dakò ak verite ou la.

For your love is before my eyes, and your faithfulness governs my way.

4 Mwen pa chita ansanm ak moun k'ap bay manti, mwen pa gen anyen pou m' wè ak moun ipokrit.

I never sat down with the worthless, nor companied with dissemblers.

5 Mwen rayi tout moun k'ap fè sa ki mal. Mwen pa chita ansanm ak mechan yo.

I hate the assembly of knaves, I would never sit down with the wicked;

6 Seyè, m'ap lave men m' pou m' moutre jan m' inonsan, mwen pral pwoche bò lotèl ou a,

but, with hands washed in innocence, I would march round your altar, O Lord,

7 pou m' fè tout moun tande jan m'ap di ou mèsi, pou m' rakonte tout bèl bagay ou yo.

singing loud songs of thanks, and telling of all your wonders.

8 Seyè, mwen renmen kay kote ou rete a, kay kote pouvwa ou ye a.

O Lord, I love your house, the place where your glory lives.

9 Pa trete m' menm jan ak moun k'ap fè sa ki mal. Pa detwi m' ansanm ak sanginè yo,

Do not gather me up with sinners; slay me not with people of blood,

10 ansanm ak moun sa yo k'ap fè krim tout tan, ki toujou pare pou achte bouch moun.

whose hands are stained with villainy, and whose right hand is filled with bribes.

11 Pou mwen menm, m'ap mennen yon lavi ki san repwòch. Delivre m', gen pitye pou mwen.

But my walk is blameless! O redeem me, be gracious to me.

12 M'ap mache byen fèm nan chemen ki pa gen move pa a. M'a fè lwanj Seyè a nan mitan pèp la lè l' reyini.

My foot stands on even ground, in the choirs I will bless the Lord.
