Sòm 6

1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se sou enstriman akòd pou yo jwe mizik la. Sou wityèm lan. Se yon sòm David. Seyè, pa pini m' lè ou fache! Pa kale m' lè ou an kòlè!

For the leader; with instrumental music on the sheminith. A psalm of David. Rebuke me not, Lord, in your anger, punish me not in your wrath.

2 Gen pitye pou mwen, Seyè, paske mwen santi m' san fòs. Geri mwen, Seyè, paske m'ap deperi.

Lord, be gracious to me in my weakness. Heal me Lord, for racked is my body;

3 Lespri m' boulvèse anpil, Seyè. Pou konbe tan bagay sa a la ankò?

all of me utterly racked. Why do you wait so long, Lord?

4 Tounen vin delivre m' non, Seyè! Jan ou gen kè sansib sa a, pa kite m' mouri.

Turn, Lord, rescue me; save me, because of your love.

5 Paske, lè yon moun mouri li pa chonje ou ankò. Pesonn pa fè lwanj ou kote mò yo ye a. (Sheol h7585)

For in death none can call you to mind; in Sheol who can praise you? (Sheol h7585)

6 Se fini m'ap fini afòs m'ap kriye. Lannwit, kabann mwen mouye nèt afòs jè m' kouri dlo.

I am so weary of sighing. All the night I make my bed swim, and wet my couch with my tears.

7 Figi m' fin rale afòs mwen gen lapenn. Mwen fin vye anba moun k'ap pèsekite m' yo.

My eyes swollen with grief; from weeping caused by my foes.

8 Wete kò nou sou mwen, nou tout k'ap fè sa ki mal, paske Seyè a tande lè m'ap kriye.

Begone, workers of wrong, for the Lord has heard my loud weeping,

9 Li tande m' lè m'ap rele nan pye li. Li reponn mwen lè m'ap lapriyè li.

the Lord has heard my entreaty, the Lord accepts my prayer.

10 Tout lènmi m' yo pral wont, y'ap pè. Se vre wi. Y'ap kouri fè bak. Y'ap rete konsa lawont ap pran yo.

My foes will be stricken with terror, brought to shame and dismay in a moment.
