Psalms 9
1 For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning the secrets of the Son. I will give thanks to you, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will recount all your wonderful works.
Pou chèf sanba yo. Sou menm lè ak chante ki di: Lanmò pitit gason an. Se yon sòm David. M'a fè lwanj ou ak tout kè m', Seyè. M'a rakonte tout bèl mèvèy ou yo.
2 I will be glad and exult in you: I will sing to your name, O you Most High.
Se ou menm k'ap fè m' chante, se ou menm k'ap fè kè m' kontan. Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la, m'a chante lwanj ou.
3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall be feeble and perish at your presence.
Parèt ou parèt, lènmi m' yo fè bak. Yo pran tranble, yo tonbe, yo mouri.
4 For you have maintained my cause and my right; you sat on the throne, that judge righteousness.
Tankou yon jij ki san patipri, ou chita sou fotèy ou. ou fè m' jistis, ou defann kòz mwen.
5 You have rebuked the nations, and the ungodly one has perished; you have blotted out their name for ever, even for ever and ever.
Ou regle moun lòt nasyon yo, ou detwi mechan yo. Ou efase non yo nèt pou tout tan.
6 The swords of the enemy have failed utterly; and you have destroyed cities: their memorial has been destroyed with a noise,
Pa gen lènmi ankò, yo fini nèt. Ata lavil yo ou vide atè. Pa gen anyen pou fè moun chonje yo ankò.
7 but the Lord endures for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.
Men Seyè a, se wa li ye pou tout tan. Li mete fotèy li la pou l' fè jistis.
8 And he will judge the world in righteousness, he will judge the nations in uprightness.
Li gouvènen tout bagay avèk jistis. Li jije tout moun san patipri.
9 The Lord also is become a refuge for the poor, a seasonable help, in affliction.
Moun y'ap peze yo, se bò kote Seyè a yo jwenn pwoteksyon. Se la yo jwenn yon kote pou yo kache, lè yo nan tray.
10 And let them that know your name hope in you: for you, O Lord, have not failed them that diligently seek you.
Moun ki konnen ou, Seyè, y'ap mete konfyans yo nan ou. Paske, ou pa lage moun k'ap chache ou.
11 Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Sion: declare his dealings among the nations.
Ann fè lwanj Seyè a k'ap gouvènen sou mòn Siyon an. Ann fè tout nasyon yo konnen sa li te fè.
12 For he remembered them, [in] making inquisition for blood: he has not forgotten the supplication of the poor.
Bondye chonje moun k'ap soufri yo, li pa bliye rèl malere yo, li pini moun ki fè yo mal.
13 Have mercy upon me, O Lord; look upon my affliction [which I suffer] of mine enemies, you that lift me up from the gates of death:
Gen pitye pou mwen, Seyè! Gade nan ki mizè moun ki rayi m' yo mete m'. vin sove m'! Pa kite m' mouri, Seyè,
14 that I may declare all your praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion: I will exult in your salvation.
pou m' ka kanpe devan moun lavil Jerizalèm yo, pou m' di yo poukisa m'ap fè lwanj ou. M'ap kontan nèt, paske ou te delivre m'.
15 The heathen are caught in the destruction which they planned: in the very snare which they hid is their foot taken.
Moun lòt nasyon yo fouye yon gwo twou: se yo menm ki tonbe ladan li. Yo tann yon pèlen: se pye yo ki pran ladan li.
16 The Lord is known as executing judgments: the sinner is taken in the works of his hands. (A song of, Pause)
Seyè a fè yo konnen ki moun li ye, li jije yo san patipri. Sa mechan yo fè a tounen kont yo.
Tout mechan yo gen pou mouri. Tout moun ki bliye gen Bondye gen pou mouri tou. (Sheol h7585)
18 For the poor shall not be forgotten for ever: the patience of the needy ones shall not perish for ever.
Se pa tout tan yo ka bliye moun ki nan mizè. Se pa tout tan yo ka wete espwa moun ki nan lafliksyon.
19 Arise, O Lord, let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged before you.
Leve non, Seyè! Pa kite lèzòm genyen batay la! Mennen moun lòt nasyon yo vin jije devan ou.
20 Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: let the heathen know that they are men. (Pause)
Fè kè yo kase, Seyè! Fè yo konnen se moun ase yo ye.
