Psalms 16

Sè yon kantik David. Pwoteje m', Bondye, paske se bò kote ou m'ap chache pwoteksyon.

Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

Mwen di Seyè a: -Se ou ki sèl Mèt mwen. Se ou menm ki tout mwen. Pa gen pase ou!

O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;

Tout plezi m' se pou m' toujou la avè moun k'ap sèvi Seyè a nan peyi a.

But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

Moun k'ap kouri dèyè tout lòt bondye yo, se traka y'ap chache bay tèt yo. Mwen p'ap mele nan ofrann bèt y'ap fè. Mwen p'ap janm nonmen non bondye sa yo.

Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.

Seyè, se ou menm ki tout byen mwen. Se ou ki ban m' tou sa m' merite. Lavi m' nan men ou.

The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

Ala yon bèl eritaj ki vin pou mwen! Ala kontan mwen kontan pou pòsyon pa m' lan!

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

M'ap fè lwanj Seyè a paske li ban m' bon konsèy. Menm lannwit, konsyans mwen di m' sa pou m' fè.

I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

Mwen toujou mete Seyè a devan je m'. Paske li toujou bò kote m'. Anyen pa ka brannen m'.

I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Se poutèt sa, kè m' kontan anpil. Mwen santi se tout tan mwen ta chante. Ata kò mwen m'ap poze ak konfyans nan Bondye.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

Paske ou p'ap kite m' kote mò yo ye a, ou p'ap penmèt moun k'ap sèvi ou la pouri anba tè.

For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

W'a fè m' konnen chemen ki bay lavi a. Paske ou la avè m', mwen pa manke kontan. Bò kote ou, Seyè, se yon plèzi ki p'ap janm fini.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
