Sòm 46

1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon chante pitit Kore yo pou yo chante tou dousman. Se Bondye ki tout pwoteksyon nou, se li menm ki tout fòs nou. Li toujou pare pou ban nou sekou lè nou anba tray.

For the leader. Of the Korahites, on alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

2 Se poutèt sa, nou te mèt wè tè a ap tranble, nou te mèt wè mòn yo ap chavire tonbe nan mitan lanmè, nou pa bezwen pè anyen.

So we have no fear, though earth should change, and the hills totter into the heart of the ocean.

3 Nou te mèt wè lanm lanmè yo move, y'ap kimen, jouk mòn yo rive tranble lè lanmè a ap frape sou rivay la, nou pa bezwen pè.

Let its waters roar and foam, let the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. On our side is the Lord of hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob. (Selah)

4 Gen yon gwo dlo larivyè k'ap koule pou fè kè moun kontan nan lavil Bondye a, sèl kote ki apa nèt pou Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la.

A river there is, whose streams make glad God’s city, the home the Most High has hallowed.

5 Bondye nan mitan lavil la, lavil la p'ap janm brannen. Depi granmaten, Bondye ap pote l' sekou.

God is within her: she cannot be shaken. God helps her at the turn of the morning.

6 Moun lòt peyi yo ap bat kò yo, chèf gouvènman yo pran lezam. Bondye fè tande vwa li, latè pran tranble.

Nations roared, kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, earth melted away.

7 Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a la avèk nou. Se bò kote Bondye Jakòb la nou jwenn kote pou n' kache.

On our side is the Lord of hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob.

8 Vini wè travay Seyè a! Gade ravaj l'ap fè sou latè!

Come and see what the Lord has done, working appallingly in the earth.

9 Se li menm ki fè yo sispann fè lagè toupatou sou latè. Li kase banza yo, li kase frenn yo de bout, li boule tout cha yo nèt.

He stills wars to the ends of the earth – breaking the bow, snapping the spear, burning the chariots in the fire.

10 Li di: -Rete la! Sispann goumen! Konnen se mwen menm ki Bondye. Se mwen k'ap dominen sou tout nasyon yo. Se mwen k'ap dominen sou tout latè.

‘Refrain; and know surely that I am God, high over the nations, high over the world.’

11 Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a la avèk nou. Se bò kote Bondye Jakòb la nou jwenn kote pou n' kache!

On our side is the Lord of Hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
