1 Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is forever.
Fè lwanj Seyè a paske li bon. Li p'ap janm sispann renmen nou!
2 Let Israel now say: For he is good, for his mercy is forever.

5 In my tribulation, I called upon the Lord. And the Lord heeded me with generosity.
Nan tray mwen te ye a, mwen rele Seyè a, li reponn mwen, li delivre m'.
6 The Lord is my helper. I will not fear what man can do to me.
Seyè a pou mwen, mwen pa pè anyen. Kisa moun ka fè m'?
7 The Lord is my helper. And I will look down upon my enemies.
Se Seyè a k'ap ede mwen. Se konsa m'ap kanpe gade moun ki rayi m' yo.
8 It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in man.
Pito yon moun chache pwoteksyon anba zèl Seyè a pase pou l' mete konfyans li nan moun.
9 It is good to hope in the Lord, rather than to hope in leaders.
Pito yon moun chache pwoteksyon anba zèl Seyè a pase pou l' konte sou chèf.
10 All the nations have surrounded me. And, in the name of the Lord, I have been avenged over them.
Tout nasyon yo te sènen m', Men, avèk pouvwa Seyè a, mwen kraze yo nèt.
11 Surrounding me, they closed in on me. And, in the name of the Lord, I have been avenged over them.
Yo te sènen m', yo te kwense m'. Men, avèk pouvwa Seyè a, mwen kraze yo nèt.
12 They surrounded me like a swarm, and they burned like fire among the thorns. And, in the name of the Lord, I have been avenged over them.
Yo te kouvri m' tankou myèl. Men, yo mouri tankou dife nan pay. Avèk pouvwa Seyè a, mwen kraze yo nèt.
13 Having been pushed, I was overturned so as to fall. But the Lord took me up.
Yo te ban m' yon bourad pou fè m' tonbe. Men, Seyè a te pote m' sekou.
14 The Lord is my strength and my praise. And he has become my salvation.
Se Seyè a ki tout fòs mwen, se pou li m'ap chante. Se li menm ki delivre m'.
15 A voice of exultation and salvation is in the tabernacles of the just.
Tande jan moun k'ap mache dwat devan Bondye yo ap rele anndan lakay yo, sitèlman yo kontan! Yo genyen batay la, yo delivre. Seyè a fè bèl bagay avèk pouvwa li.
16 The right hand of the Lord has wrought virtue. The right hand of the Lord has exalted me. The right hand of the Lord has wrought virtue.
Pouvwa Seyè a se yon pakèt afè. Seyè a fè bèl bagay ak pouvwa li.
17 I will not die, but I will live. And I will declare the works of the Lord.
Non, mwen p'ap mouri. M'a viv! M'a rakonte sa Seyè a fè pou mwen.
18 When chastising, the Lord chastised me. But he has not delivered me over to death.
Li te pini m' byen pini. Men, li pa t' touye m'.
19 Open the gates of justice to me. I will enter them, and I will confess to the Lord.
Louvri pòt kay Bondye ki fè m' jistis la pou m' antre, pou m' di Seyè a mèsi.
20 This is the gate of the Lord. The just will enter by it.
Men pòt kay Seyè a! Se moun ki mache dwat devan l' sèlman ki ka pase ladan l'.
21 I will confess to you because you have heard me. And you have become my salvation.
Seyè, m'ap di ou mèsi paske ou te koute m', paske se ou menm ki delivre m'.
22 The stone which the builders have rejected, this has become the head of the corner.
Wòch moun ki t'ap bati yo te voye jete a, se li menm ki tounen wòch ki kenbe kay la.
23 By the Lord has this been done, and it is a wonder before our eyes.
Sa se travay Seyè a menm! Se bèl bagay pou nou wè sa!
24 This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us exult and rejoice in it.
Ala yon bèl jounen Seyè a ban nou! Ann pase jounen an ap fè fèt, ann fè kè nou kontan!
25 O Lord, grant salvation to me. O Lord, grant good prosperity.
Aa! Seyè! Tanpri, delivre nou! Tanpri, fè nou reyisi nan tou sa n'ap fè!
26 Blessed is he who arrives in the name of the Lord. We have blessed you from the house of the Lord.
Benediksyon pou moun ki vini nan non Seyè a! Nou menm ki nan kay Seyè a, n'ap beni nou.
27 The Lord is God, and he has enlightened us. Establish a solemn day amid a dense crowd, even to the horn of the altar.
Seyè a se Bondye li ye. Li wete nou nan fènwa kote nou te ye a. Avèk branch bwa nan men nou, ranje nou pou nou fè tout tou lotèl la.
28 You are my God, and I will confess to you. You are my God, and I will exalt you. I will confess to you, for you have heeded me. And you have become my salvation.
Se ou ki Bondye mwen, m'ap di ou mèsi. Bondye mwen, m'ap di jan ou gen pouvwa!
29 Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is forever.
Fè lwanj Seyè a paske li bon. Li p'ap janm sispann renmen nou!
