Sòm 7
1 Plent David te pote bay Seyè a pou Kouch, moun laras Benjamen. Seyè, Bondye mwen, se nan ou mwen mete tout konfyans mwen. Delivre m'. Pa kite m' tonbe nan men moun k'ap pèsekite m' yo.
Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
2 Si se pa sa, tankou lyon yo fè, y'ap pote m' ale, y'ap devore m' san pesonn p'ap ka pote m' sekou.
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending [it] in pieces, while [there is] none to deliver.
3 Seyè, Bondye mwen, si m' te fè bagay sa yo vre, si m' te fè yon moun mal,
O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
4 si m' te aji mal ak moun ki te fè m' byen, si m' te pèsekite lènmi m' san rezon,
If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy: )
5 ou mèt kite lènmi pousib mwen jouk li mete men sou mwen. Ou mèt kite l' mache sou mwen, ou mèt kite l' trennen non m' nan labou.
Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take [it; ] yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. (Selah)
6 Seyè, leve non! Mete ou ankòlè! Leve, pran pozisyon kont lènmi m' yo ki fin debòde. Leve non! vin pote m' sekou, paske se jistis ou m'ap chache.
Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment [that] thou hast commanded.
7 Sanble tout nasyon yo bò kote ou. Rete nan syèl la, gouvènen yo tout.
So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
8 Ou menm Seyè, ou se jij tout moun. Tanpri, Seyè, fè m' jistis paske mwen mache dwat, mwen inonsan.
The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity [that is] in me.
9 Fè mechan yo sispann fè move bagay. Tanpri, bay moun ki mache dwat yo fòs. Ou se yon Bondye ki pa nan patipri: Ou konnen tout lide moun gen nan tèt yo ak tout santiman ki nan kè yo.
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
10 Se Bondye ki defans mwen. Li delivre tout moun ki mache dwat.
My defence [is] of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
11 Bondye se yon jij ki san patipri: Li toujou kondannen mechan yo.
God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry [with the wicked] every day.
12 Si yon moun pa chanje lavi li, Bondye ap file nepe li, l'ap pare banza li pou l' vize li.
If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
13 Bondye ap pare zam sa yo pou touye li. L'ap sèvi ak flèch li yo pou simen dife.
He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
14 Gade jan mechan an gen move lide nan kè li! L'ap fè plan pou fè moun mal. L'ap plede bay manti.
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15 Li fouye yon gwo twou byen fon nan tè a. Lèfini, se li menm ki tonbe ladan li.
He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch [which] he made.
16 Se konsa, malè li te pare pou lòt moun, se sou li li tonbe. Se pwòp mechanste l' ki tounen kont li!
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
17 Mwen menm, m'ap di Seyè a mèsi pou jistis li. M'ap fè lwanj Seyè a ki anwo nan syèl la.
I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
