Psalms 71

Seyè, se nan ou mwen mete tout konfyans mwen! Pa janm kite m' wont!

In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.

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 thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.

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 thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.

Bondye mwen, wete m' anba men mechan yo, anba ponyèt moun k'ap bay manti yo ak moun k'ap fè mechanste yo.

Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

Seyè, se ou menm ki tout espwa mwen. Mwen mete konfyans mwen nan ou depi lè m' te jenn gason.

For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth.

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.

By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.

Lavi m' se yon mistè pou anpil moun. Men, se ou menm k'ap pwoteje m' ak tout fòs ou.

I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.

Tout lajounen lwanj ou nan bouch mwen. M'ap fè konnen jan ou gen pouvwa.

Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.

Koulye a mwen fin granmoun, tanpri pa voye m' jete. Koulye a mwen fin pèdi fòs, pa lage m'.

Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.

Lènmi m' yo ap pale m' mal. Yo mete tèt yo ansanm, yo dèyè pou yo touye m'.

For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,

Y'ap plede di: -Bondye lage l'. Kouri dèyè l', kenbe l', paske pa gen moun pou delivre l'.

Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.

Bondye, pa rete lwen mwen. Bondye mwen, prese vin pote m' sekou.

O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.

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 them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.

M'ap toujou mete espwa mwen sou ou. M'ap fè lwanj ou tout tan tout tan.

But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.

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 shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

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 go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

Bondye, depi lè m' te jenn gason w'ap aprann mwen anpil bagay. Jouk koulye a m'ap rakonte bèl bagay ou fè yo.

O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

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,

Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.

jan jistis ou rive jouk nan syèl la. Bondye, ou fè bèl bagay. Pa gen tankou ou!

Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!

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.

Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

W'ap fè m' pi grannèg pase jan m' te ye a. W'ap konsole m' ankò.

Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.

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 thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.

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 greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

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 also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
