Sòm 125

1 Yon chan pou monte vè tanp lan. (Sila) ki mete konfyans yo nan SENYÈ a tankou Mòn Sion, ki pa kab deplase, men ki dire jis pou tout tan.

A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

2 Kon mòn antoure Jérusalem yo, se konsa SENYÈ a antoure pèp Li a depi moman sa a, e jis rive pou tout tan.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Yahweh surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.

3 Paske baton wayal plen mechanste p ap poze sou peyi a moun ladwati yo, jis pou moun dwat yo pa leve men yo pou fè mal.

For the scepter of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous, so that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.

4 Fè byen, SENYÈ, a (sila) ki bon yo, ak (sila) ki dwat nan kè yo.

Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.

5 Men pou (sila) ki vire akote pou chemen kwochi pa yo, SENYÈ a va mennen yo sòti avèk (sila) ki fè inikite yo. Ke lapè rete sou Israël.

But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.
