Sòm 86
1 Se yon lapriyè David te fè. Seyè, tanpri panche zòrèy ou bò kote m', reponn mwen, paske se yon pòv malere san sekou mwen ye.
A Prayer of David himself. Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear me. For I am needy and poor.
2 Pa kite m' mouri, paske mwen fè tou sa ou mande m' fè. Bondye mwen, delivre m' non, paske se ou menm m'ap sèvi, se nan ou menm sèl mwen mete konfyans mwen.
Preserve my soul, for I am holy. My God, bring salvation to your servant who hopes in you.
3 Gen pitye pou mwen, Seyè, paske se tout lajounen m'ap kriye nan pye ou!
O Lord, be merciful to me, for I have cried out to you all day long.
4 Fè kè sèvitè ou la kontan, Seyè, paske se ou menm mwen rele lè m'ap lapriyè!
Give joy to the soul of your servant, for I have lifted up my soul to you, Lord.
5 Seyè, ala bon ou bon! Ou padonnen peche nou yo. Ou p'ap janm sispann renmen moun k'ap rele non ou.
For you are sweet and mild, Lord, and plentiful in mercy to all who call upon you.
6 Seyè, koute m' non lè m'ap lapriyè! Tande m' non lè m'ap rele mande sekou!
Pay attention, Lord, to my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplication.
7 Lè m' nan tray, se ou menm mwen rele, paske ou toujou reponn mwen.
In the day of my tribulation, I cried out to you, because you heeded me.
8 Seyè, nan tout bondye yo, pa gen tankou ou! Pa gen yonn ki ka fè sa ou menm ou fè!
There is no one like you among the gods, O Lord, and there is no one like you in your works.
9 Tout nasyon ou te fè yo va vin bese tèt devan ou! Y'a fè lwanj ou,
All the nations, which you have made, will draw near and adore in your presence, O Lord. And they will glorify your name.
10 paske se ou menm, Bondye, ki gen pouvwa, se ou menm ki fè bèl mèvèy sa yo. Se ou menm sèl ki Bondye.
For you are great, and you perform wonders. You alone are God.
11 Seyè, moutre m' jan ou vle m' viv la. M'a toujou obeyi ou nan tout sikonstans. Moutre m' jan pou m' sèvi ou avèk krentif.
Lead me, O Lord, in your way, and I will walk in your truth. May my heart rejoice, so that it will fear your name.
12 Seyè, Bondye mwen, m'ap fè lwanj ou ak tout kè m', mwen p'ap janm sispann fè konnen jan ou gen pouvwa!
I will confess to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart. And I will glorify your name in eternity.
For your mercy toward me is great, and you have rescued my soul from the lower part of Hell. (Sheol h7585)
14 Bondye, yon bann awogan leve dèyè m'! Yon kantite mechan soti pou yo touye m'! Yo pa menm chonje si gen Bondye!
O God, the iniquitous have risen up against me, and the synagogue of the powerful have sought my soul, and they have not placed you in their sight.
15 Seyè, ou se yon Bondye ki gen pitye pou nou, yon Bondye ki gen bon kè. Ou pa fasil fè kòlè, ou p'ap janm sispann renmen nou, ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou!
And you, Lord God, are compassionate and merciful, being patient and full of mercy and truthful.
16 Voye je ou sou mwen. Gen pitye pou mwen! Ban m' fòs ankò, delivre m', paske mwen se pitit manman m' ki te toujou sèvi ou.
Look down upon me and have mercy on me. Grant your authority to your servant, and bring salvation to the son of your handmaid.
17 Fè kichòy pou mwen, Seyè! Fè moun ki pa vle wè m' yo wont, lè yo wè se ou menm ki pote m' sekou, se ou menm ki ban m' konsolasyon!
Make me a sign of what is good, so that those who hate me, may look and be confounded. For you, O Lord, have helped me and consoled me.
