2 Blessed are those who examine his testimonies. They seek him with their whole heart.
Ala bon sa bon pou moun ki kenbe prensip li yo, pou moun k'ap chache obeyi l' ak tout kè yo!
3 For those who work iniquity have not walked in his ways.
Moun konsa p'ap fè mal, y'ap mache nan chemen li mete devan yo.
4 You have ordered your commandments to be kept most diligently.
Ou ban nou lòd pou nou swiv. Ou mande pou nou obeyi yo san manke yonn.
5 I wish that my ways may be directed so as to keep your justifications.
Jan m' ta renmen kenbe fèm pou m' toujou fè sa ou mande!
6 Then I will not be confounded, when I will look into all your commandments.
Konsa, mwen p'ap janm wont lè m'ap kalkile kòmandman ou yo.
7 I will confess to you with honesty of heart. In this way, I have learned the judgments of your justice.

Anvan ou te pini m' lan, mwen te konn fè sa ki mal. Men koulye a, m'ap fè tou sa ou di m' fè.
68 You are good, so in your goodness teach me your justifications.
Ou gen bon kè, ou pa fè mechanste. Moutre m' sa ou vle m' fè.
69 The iniquity of the arrogant has been multiplied over me. Yet I will examine your commandments with all my heart.

70 Their heart has been curdled like milk. Truly, I have meditated on your law.
Moun sa yo gen lespri yo bouche, men mwen menm, mwen pran tout plezi m' nan lalwa ou la.

76 Let it be your mercy that consoles me, according to your eloquence to your servant.
Jan ou te pwomèt mwen sa, mwen menm sèvitè ou la, konsole m', paske ou renmen m'.
77 Let your compassion draw near to me, and I will live. For your law is my (meditation)

81 My soul has faltered in your salvation, yet in your word, I have hoped beyond hope.
Seyè, kè m' fè m' mal tèlman m'ap tann ou vin delivre mwen. Mwen mete tout espwa mwen nan pawòl ou.
82 My eyes have failed in your eloquence, saying, “When will you console me?”
Je m' yo fè m' mal tèlman m'ap veye sa ou te pwomèt la. M'ap mande: -Kilè w'a vin konsole m'?
83 For I have become like a wineskin in the frost. I have not forgotten your justifications.
Mwen tankou yon vye kalbas ki pandye bò dife. Men, mwen pa janm bliye sa ou mande m' fè.
84 How many are the days of your servant? When will you bring judgment against those who persecute me?
Konbe jou sèvitè ou la rete pou l' viv ankò? Kilè w'a pini moun k'ap pèsekite m' yo?
85 The iniquitous have spoken fables to me. But these are unlike your law.
Yon bann awogan fouye twou sou wout mwen, yo p'ap fè sa ou mande nan lalwa a.
86 All your commandments are truth. They have been persecuting me unjustly: assist me.

Jouk jounen jòdi a, tout bagay sou latè rete jan ou vle l' la, paske yo tout se sèvitè ou yo ye.
92 If your law had not been my (meditation) then perhaps I would have perished in my humiliation.
Si mwen pa t' pran plezi m' nan fè sa ou mande m' fè, atòkonsa mwen ta fin mouri nan mizè mwen.
93 I will not forget your justifications, for eternity. For by them, you have enlivened me.
Mwen p'ap janm bliye lòd ou bay yo paske se gremesi yo ou ban m' lavi ankò.
