Sòm 56
1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se pou yo chante sou lè chante ki di: Pijon ki sou pye terebent byen lwen yo. Se yon chante David te ekri lè moun Filisti yo te mete men sou li nan lavil Gat. Bondye papa mwen! Gen pitye pou mwen, paske mwen gen anpil moun k'ap pousib mwen. Tout lajounen y'ap fè m' lagè, y'ap toumante mwen.
[For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Silent Dove in Distant Lands." A poem by David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.] Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.
2 Tout lajounen lènmi m' yo ap pousib mwen. Se pa ti anpil yo anpil, moun k'ap fè m' lagè yo.
My enemies want to swallow me up all day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.
3 Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la, lè mwen pè, se nan ou mwen mete tout konfyans mwen.
When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.
4 Mwen gen konfyans nan Bondye. M'ap fè lwanj pawòl li. Mwen pa pè anyen. Kisa lèzòm ka fè m'?
In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
5 Tout lajounen y'ap manke m' dega. Se yon sèl lide yo gen nan tèt yo: se fè mwen mal!
All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 Yo mete tèt yo ansanm, yo kache kò yo, y'ap veye tout vire tounen mwen. Y'ap tann okazyon konsa pou yo touye m'.
They conspire and lurk, watching my steps, they are eager to take my life.
7 Pa gen sove pou yo, paske yo fè twòp. Lè ou an kòlè, Bondye, fè pèp yo vin ba devan ou.
Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.
8 Ou konnen tout kouri kache mwen yo. Ou konnen jan dlo koule nan je m'. Eske tout sa pa ekri nan liv ou a?
You number my wanderings. You put my tears into your bottle. Aren't they in your book?
9 Se poutèt sa lènmi m' yo gen pou kouri ale lè m' rele ou. Mwen konnen Bondye pou mwen.
Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this, that God is for me.
10 M'ap fè lwanj pawòl Bondye. Wi, m'ap fè lwanj pawòl Seyè a.
In God, I will praise his word. In the LORD, I will praise his word.
11 Mwen gen konfyans nan Bondye, mwen pa pè anyen. Kisa lèzòm ka fè mwen?
I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
12 O Bondye, m'ap ofri ou sa mwen te pwomèt ou yo, m'ap ofri bèt pou yo touye pou ou pou m' di ou mèsi.
Your vows are on me, God. I will give thank offerings to you.
13 Paske ou pa kite m' mouri, ou pa kite m' bite, pou m' kapab mache devan ou nan mitan bèl limyè k'ap klere moun k'ap viv pou ou yo.
For you have delivered my soul from death, and prevented my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
