Sòm 71
1 Seyè, se nan ou mwen mete tout konfyans mwen! Pa janm kite m' wont!
In you, LORD, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed.
2 Ou se yon jij ki pa nan patipri. Tanpri, sove m' non, delivre mwen. Panche zòrèy ou bò kote m'. Pote m' sekou!
Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me.
3 Se ou menm ki twou wòch kote pou m' kache. Se ou menm ki pou sèvi m' ranpa ki pou sove mwen. Se ou menm k'ap pwoteje mwen. Se ou menm k'ap pran defans mwen.
Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 Bondye mwen, wete m' anba men mechan yo, anba ponyèt moun k'ap bay manti yo ak moun k'ap fè mechanste yo.
Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5 Seyè, se ou menm ki tout espwa mwen. Mwen mete konfyans mwen nan ou depi lè m' te jenn gason.
For you are my hope, LORD; my confidence from my youth.
6 Se sou ou mwen konte depi m' fèt. Se ou ki fè m' soti nan vant manman m'. Se tout tan m'ap fè lwanj ou.
I have relied on you from the womb. From my mother's womb you are my strength. I will always praise you.
7 Lavi m' se yon mistè pou anpil moun. Men, se ou menm k'ap pwoteje m' ak tout fòs ou.
I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge.
8 Tout lajounen lwanj ou nan bouch mwen. M'ap fè konnen jan ou gen pouvwa.
My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all the day.
9 Koulye a mwen fin granmoun, tanpri pa voye m' jete. Koulye a mwen fin pèdi fòs, pa lage m'.
Do not reject me in my old age. Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
10 Lènmi m' yo ap pale m' mal. Yo mete tèt yo ansanm, yo dèyè pou yo touye m'.
For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,
11 Y'ap plede di: -Bondye lage l'. Kouri dèyè l', kenbe l', paske pa gen moun pou delivre l'.
saying, "God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him."
12 Bondye, pa rete lwen mwen. Bondye mwen, prese vin pote m' sekou.
God, do not be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.
13 Se pou moun k'ap atake m' yo wont, se pou yo disparèt. Wi, se pou yo wont, se pou moun pase yo nan rizib, moun sa yo ki te vle wè malè rive mwen.
Let my accusers be put to shame and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.
14 M'ap toujou mete espwa mwen sou ou. M'ap fè lwanj ou tout tan tout tan.
But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise.
15 M'ap fè konnen jan ou san patipri. Tout lajounen m'a fè konnen jan ou delivre mwen, paske se bagay moun p'ap janm fin konprann.
My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I do not know its full measure.
16 Seyè, Bondye, m'a rakonte bagay ou fè avèk pouvwa ou. M'a fè chonje jan ou fè lèzòm gras. Se ou menm sèlman ki ka fè bagay konsa.
I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord GOD. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.
17 Bondye, depi lè m' te jenn gason w'ap aprann mwen anpil bagay. Jouk koulye a m'ap rakonte bèl bagay ou fè yo.
God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.
18 Koulye a mwen fin vye granmoun, tout cheve nan tèt mwen fin blan. Tanpri, Bondye, pa lage m'. Kanpe la avè m' pou m' ka fè moun k'ap viv koulye a konnen jan ou gen fòs, pou m' ka fè tout moun ki gen pou vin apre yo konnen jan ou vanyan,
Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, do not forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.
19 jan jistis ou rive jouk nan syèl la. Bondye, ou fè bèl bagay. Pa gen tankou ou!
Your righteousness also, God, reaches to the heavens; you have done great things. God, who is like you?
20 Ou voye traka ak soufrans ban nou. Men se ou k'ap ban nou lavi ankò. W'ap rale nou soti nan bouch twou a.
You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
21 W'ap fè m' pi grannèg pase jan m' te ye a. W'ap konsole m' ankò.
Increase my honor, and comfort me again.
22 Se vre wi, m'a fè lwanj ou avèk kout gita. M'a fè lwanj ou, Bondye mwen, paske w'ap toujou kenbe pawòl ou. M'a chante, m'a jwe mizik sou gita mwen pou Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.
23 M'a chante pou ou. M'a rele sitèlman mwen kontan. M'a chante ak tout kè m' paske ou te delivre m'.
My lips shall shout for joy. My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you.
24 Tout lajounen m'a fè konnen jan ou pa nan patipri, paske moun ki te vle wè malè rive m' yo gen pou yo wont. Yo p'ap konn sa pou yo fè.
My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.
