Sòm 87

1 ¶ A Psalm of the sons of Korah; a Song. His foundation is in the holy mountains.
1 ¶ Se yon sòm pitit Kore yo. Se yon chante li ye. Bondye bati lavil li a sou mòn ki apa pou li a!

2 Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion More than all the dwellings of Jacob.
2 Li renmen lavil Jerizalèm pi plis pase tout lòt kote nan peyi Jakòb la.

3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah
3 Ou menm, lavil Bondye a, tande bèl bagay y'ap di sou ou:

4 ¶ I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know me: Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: This one was born there.
4 ¶ Lè m'ap nonmen non moun k'ap sèvi m' yo, m'ap mete moun peyi Lejip, moun peyi Babilòn sou lis la. Moun peyi Filisti, moun peyi Tir ak moun peyi Etiopi, se Jerizalèm yo fèt.

5 Yea, of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; And the Most High himself will establish her.
5 Lè moun ap pale sou mòn Siyon an yo di: -Yo rele l' manman, paske se la yo tout fèt. Se Bondye anwo nan syèl la ki mete l' kanpe.

6 Jehovah will count, when he writeth up the peoples, This one was born there. Selah
6 Seyè a fè lis tout pèp yo, li fè yo tout pase pou moun lavil Jerizalèm.

7 They that sing as well as they that dance shall say, All my fountains are in thee.
7 Moun k'ap chante yo ansanm ak moun k'ap danse yo ap repete byen fò: -Se ou menm ki manman nou tout.

Sòm 88

1 ¶ A Song, a Psalm of the sons of Korah; for the Chief Musician; set to Mahalath Leannoth. Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. O Jehovah, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee.
1 ¶ Chante sa a se yon sòm pitit Kore yo. Pou chèf sanba yo. Fè yo chante ansanm tankou timoun lekòl. Se chante Eman, moun lavil Ezra. Seyè, Bondye, se ou menm ki delivrans mwen! Lajounen kou lannwit m'ap rele nan pye ou!

2 Let my prayer enter into thy presence; Incline thine ear unto my cry.
2 Se pou lapriyè m' rive nan zòrèy ou. Koute byen sa m'ap mande ou.

3 For my soul is full of troubles, And my life draweth nigh unto Sheol.
3 Anpil malè tonbe sou mwen, mwen pa kapab ankò. Mwen prèt pou mouri.

4 I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit; I am as a man that hath no help,
4 Mwen tankou moun ki sou dènye souf li, tankou moun ki pa gen fòs ankò.

5 Cast off among the dead, Like the slain that lie in the grave, Whom thou rememberest no more, And they are cut off from thy hand.
5 Mwen tonbe atè tankou yon moun mouri, tankou yon moun yo touye ki kouche nan simityè. Wi, tankou yon moun ou bliye nèt, tankou yon moun ou pa ka fè anyen ankò pou li.

6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the deeps.
6 Ou voye m' jete nan yon gwo twou byen fon, kote ki fè nwa anpil, nan yon twou san fon.

7 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, And thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah
7 Mwen santi ou ankòlè anpil sou mwen. Se kraze w'ap kraze m' anba men ou.

8 Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me; Thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
8 Ou fè tout zanmi m' yo lage m'. Yo yonn pa ka santi m' bò kote yo! Mwen fèmen yon kote mwen pa ka soti.

9 Mine eye wasteth away by reason of affliction: I have called daily upon thee, O Jehovah; I have spread forth my hands unto thee.
9 Je m' ap boule m' tèlman m'ap soufri. Seyè, se chak jou m'ap rele ou, m'ap louvri de bra m' ba ou!

10 ¶ Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? Shall they that are deceased arise and praise thee? Selah
10 ¶ Eske se pou moun mouri ou fè mirak? Eske mò ka leve pou fè lwanj ou?

11 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? Or thy faithfulness in Destruction?
11 Eske moun ki anba tè ka fè konnen jan ou renmen nou? Eske moun ki nan twou san fon an ka fè konnen jan ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou?

12 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? And thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
12 Eske moun ki nan fènwa a ka wè mèvèy ou yo? Eske moun ki nan peyi kote yo bliye tout bagay la ka wè jan ou bon!

13 But unto thee, O Jehovah, have I cried; And in the morning shall my prayer come before thee.
13 Seyè, m'ap rele ou vin ede mwen. Se chak maten m'ap lapriyè nan pye ou.

14 Jehovah, why castest thou off my soul? Why hidest thou thy face from me?
14 Seyè, poukisa ou voye m' jete lwen ou konsa? Poukisa ou kache figi ou pou mwen?

15 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: While I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
15 Depi mwen jenn gason se soufri m'ap soufri, m'ap pase ra lanmò. Ou sitèlman pini mwen, mwen pa konn sa pou m' fè ankò.

16 Thy fierce wrath is gone over me; Thy terrors have cut me off.
16 Nan kòlè ou, ou fè m' pase kont tray mwen. Se fini ou fini avè m' tèlman ou pini m'.

17 They came round about me like water all the day long; They compassed me about together.
17 Tout lajounen ou sènen m' tankou dlo inondasyon, ou fèmen m' toupatou.

18 Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, And mine acquaintance into darkness.
18 Ou te fè tout kanmarad mwen yo ak zanmi m' yo vire do ban mwen. Moun mwen te konn rakonte ti koze m' yo disparèt.

Sòm 89

1 ¶ Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the lovingkindness of Jehovah for ever: With my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
1 ¶ Chante Etan, moun peyi Ezra. Seyè, mwen p'ap janm sispann chante pou fè konnen jan ou renmen nou. Se tout tan m'a fè konnen jan ou se moun ki kenbe pawòl ou.

2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever; Thy faithfulness wilt thou establish in the very heavens.
2 Ou di konsa: -Pa gen anyen ki pou fè ou sispann renmen nou. Menm jan syèl la ap toujou la, se konsa tou w'ap toujou kenbe pawòl ou.

3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant:
3 Ou di konsa: -Mwen pase yon kontra avèk moun mwen te chwazi a. Men sa mwen te pwomèt David, sèvitè mwen an:

4 Thy seed will I establish for ever, And build up thy throne to all generations. Selah
4 W'ap toujou gen yon wa nan pitit pitit ou yo. M'ap fè gouvènman ou lan kanpe fèm pou tout tan.

5 ¶ And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Jehovah; Thy faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.
5 ¶ Seyè, moun ki nan syèl yo ap chante pou bèl mèvèy ou fè yo. Y'ap chante nan mitan moun k'ap viv pou ou yo, pou fè konnen jan ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou.

6 For who in the skies can be compared unto Jehovah? Who among the sons of the mighty is like unto Jehovah,
6 Seyè, pa gen tankou ou nan syèl la! Pa gen bondye ki ka wè avè ou!

7 A God very terrible in the council of the holy ones, And to be feared above all them that are round about him?
7 Tout moun k'ap sèvi ou yo respekte ou. Tout moun ki bò kote ou yo pè ou.

8 O Jehovah God of hosts, Who is a mighty one, like unto thee, O Jehovah? And thy faithfulness is round about thee.
8 Seyè, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, pa gen moun ki gen pouvwa pase ou! Ou kenbe pawòl ou nan tout sikonstans, Seyè!

9 Thou rulest the pride of the sea: When the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
9 Ou dominen sou gwo lanmè yo. Lè yo move, ou fè yo ret dousman.

10 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; Thou hast scattered thine enemies with the arm of thy strength.
10 Ou kraze moun peyi Lejip yo, ou fè yo tounen kadav. Avèk fòs ponyèt ou, ou gaye lènmi ou yo.

11 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: The world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
11 Syèl la se pou ou ansanm ak latè a. Se ou ki kreye lemonn antye ak tou sa ki ladan l'.

12 The north and the south, thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon rejoice in thy name.
12 Se ou ki kreye nò ak sid. Mòn Tabò ak mòn Emon ap chante pou ou sitèlman yo kontan.

13 Thou hast a mighty arm; Strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.
13 Ou pa manke fòs nan ponyèt ou! Ou p'ap bese tèt devan pesonn.

14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of thy throne: Lovingkindness and truth go before thy face.
14 W'ap gouvènen tout bagay avèk jistis san patipri. Nan tout sa w'ap fè ou pa janm bliye jan ou renmen nou. W'ap toujou kenbe pwomès ou te fè nou yo.

15 ¶ Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: They walk, O Jehovah, in the light of thy countenance.
15 ¶ Ala bon sa bon lè yon pèp gen kè kontan, lè l'ap viv yon jan ki fè ou plezi!

16 In thy name do they rejoice all the day; And in thy righteousness are they exalted.
16 Tout lajounen y'ap fè fèt pou ou. Y'ap fè lwanj ou paske ou gen bon kè.

17 For thou art the glory of their strength; And in thy favor our horn shall be exalted.
17 Se ou menm ki fè nou pa pè pesonn. Se paske ou renmen nou kifè nou genyen batay yo.

18 For our shield belongeth unto Jehovah; And our king to the Holy One of Israel.
18 Paske, Seyè a se pwoteksyon nou, se ou menm, Bondye Izrayèl la, ki wa nou.

19 ¶ Then thou spakest in vision to thy saints, And saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
19 ¶ Nan tan lontan, moun k'ap sèvi ou yo te wè ou nan yon vizyon. Ou te pale ak yo, ou te di yo: -Mwen te bay yon vanyan gason yon koudmen. Mwen te pran yon jenn gason nan pèp
