Sòm 99

1 Se Seyè a ki wa! Pèp yo ap tranble. Li chita sou fotèy li anwo zanj cheriben yo. Tout moun sou latè ap tranble!

The Lord is king; let the nations tremble: he is throned upon cherubs; let earth quake.

2 Seyè a gen pouvwa nan peyi Siyon! L'ap gouvènen sou tout pèp yo.

The Lord is great in Zion, he is high over all the nations.

3 Se pou tout moun fè lwanj li, paske li gen pouvwa, li merite respè! Se Bondye tout bon li ye!

Let them praise your great and terrible name. Holy is he.

4 Ou se yon wa ki gen pouvwa, yon wa ki renmen sa ki dwat. Ou mete jistis toupatou nan peyi Izrayèl. Ou fè yo fè jistis nan peyi a san patipri, jan sa dwe fèt.

You are a king who loves justice, equity you have established: justice and right you have wrought for Jacob.

5 Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an! Bese tèt nou devan fotèy li. Sè Bondye tout bon li ye!

Exalt the Lord our God, bow down at his footstool. Holy is he.

6 Moyiz ak Arawon te fè pati prèt li yo! Samyèl te yonn nan moun ki te sèvi l' yo! Tout twa te rele Seyè a, li te reponn yo.

Among his priests were Moses and Aaron, Samuel among those who called on his name. They called to the Lord, and he gave them answer.

7 Li rete nan poto nwaj la, li pale ak yo. Yo te obeyi lòd ak kòmandman li te ba yo.

He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud, they kept his commands and the statute he gave them.

8 Seyè, Bondye nou, ou te reponn yo lè yo te lapriyè ou! Ou te moutre yo se yon Bondye ki konn padonnen ou ye. Men, ou te pini yo pou sa yo fè ki mal.

Lord our God, you gave them answer. A God of forgiveness were you to them, who suffered their deeds to go unpunished.

9 Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an! Adore l' sou mòn ki apa pou li a! Paske, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, se Bondye tout bon li ye.

Exalt the Lord our God; bow down at his holy mountain. For holy is the Lord our God.
