Sòm 54

1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon chante David te ekri lè moun peyi Zif yo te al di Sayil men David kache lakay yo. Bondye, delivre m' non avèk pouvwa ou! Fè m' jistis avèk fòs kouraj ou!

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

2 Bondye, koute m' non lè m'ap lapriyè! Panche zòrèy ou pou tande pawòl k'ap soti nan bouch mwen!

Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 Paske gen yon seri moun awogan ki leve dèyè m', yon bann mechan ki soti pou touye m'! Yo pa menm chonje si gen Bondye!

For strangers have risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

4 Men, Bondye ap vin ede m'. Seyè a ap pran defans mwen.

Behold, God [is] my helper: the LORD [is] with them that uphold my soul.

5 L'ap fè mechanste moun ki pa vle wè m' yo tonbe sou tèt yo; l'ap fini nèt ak yo paske l'ap toujou kenbe pawòl li.

He will reward evil to my enemies; cut them off in thy truth.

6 Seyè, m'a ofri bèt pou yo touye pou ou ak kè kontan, m'a fè lwanj ou, paske ou bon pou mwen.

I will freely sacrifice to thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for [it is] good.

7 Ou delivre m' anba tray mwen te ye a; ou fè m' wè lènmi m' yo pèdi batay la.

For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath seen [its desire] upon my enemies.
