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.
For the ignoraunce of Dauid, which he songe to the Lord on the wordis of Ethiopien, the sone of Gemyny. Mi Lord God, Y haue hopid in thee; make thou me saaf fro alle that pursuen me, and delyuere thou 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 ony tyme he as a lioun rauysche my soule; the while noon is that ayenbieth, nether that makith saaf.
3 Seyè, Bondye mwen, si m' te fè bagay sa yo vre, si m' te fè yon moun mal,
Mi Lord God, if Y dide this thing, if wickidnesse is in myn hondis;
4 si m' te aji mal ak moun ki te fè m' byen, si m' te pèsekite lènmi m' san rezon,
if Y `yeldide to men yeldynge to me yuels, falle Y `bi disseruyng voide fro myn enemyes;
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.
myn enemy pursue my soule, and take, and defoule my lijf in erthe; and brynge my glorie in to dust.
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.
Lord, rise thou vp in thin ire; and be thou reysid in the coostis of myn enemyes.
7 Sanble tout nasyon yo bò kote ou. Rete nan syèl la, gouvènen yo tout.
And, my Lord God, rise thou in the comaundement, which thou `hast comaundid; and the synagoge of puplis schal cumpasse thee.
8 Ou menm Seyè, ou se jij tout moun. Tanpri, Seyè, fè m' jistis paske mwen mache dwat, mwen inonsan.
And for this go thou ayen an hiy; the Lord demeth puplis. Lord, deme thou me bi my riytfulnesse; and bi myn innocence on 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.
The wickidnesse of synneris be endid; and thou, God, sekyng the hertis and reynes, schalt dresse a iust man.
10 Se Bondye ki defans mwen. Li delivre tout moun ki mache dwat.
Mi iust help is of the Lord; that makith saaf riytful men in herte.
11 Bondye se yon jij ki san patipri: Li toujou kondannen mechan yo.
The Lord is a iust iuge, stronge and pacient; whether he is wrooth bi alle daies?
12 Si yon moun pa chanje lavi li, Bondye ap file nepe li, l'ap pare banza li pou l' vize li.
If ye ben `not conuertid, he schal florische his swerd; he hath bent his bouwe, and made it redi.
13 Bondye ap pare zam sa yo pou touye li. L'ap sèvi ak flèch li yo pou simen dife.
And therynne he hath maad redi the vessels of deth; he hath fulli maad his arewis with brennynge thingis.
14 Gade jan mechan an gen move lide nan kè li! L'ap fè plan pou fè moun mal. L'ap plede bay manti.
Lo! he conseyuede sorewe; he peynfuli brouyte forth vnriytfulnesse, and childide wickidnesse.
15 Li fouye yon gwo twou byen fon nan tè a. Lèfini, se li menm ki tonbe ladan li.
He openide a lake, and diggide it out; and he felde in to the dich 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 sorewe schal be turned in to his heed; and his wickidnesse schal come doun in to his necke.
17 Mwen menm, m'ap di Seyè a mèsi pou jistis li. M'ap fè lwanj Seyè a ki anwo nan syèl la.
I schal knouleche to the Lord bi his riytfulnesse; and Y schal synge to the name of the hiyeste Lord.
