Psalms 27

The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Se yon sòm David. Seyè a se limyè mwen, se li ki delivrans mwen. Ki moun ki ka fè m' pè? Se Seyè a k'ap pwoteje mwen. Ki moun ki ka fè m' tranble?

When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

Lè mechan yo ap mache sou mwen, lè lènmi m' yo ap chache touye m', se yo menm k'ap bite, se yo menm k'ap tonbe.

Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

Menm si tout yon lame ta sènen m' toupatou, mwen p'ap pè anyen. Menm si yo ta vle fè m' lagè, m'ap toujou gen konfyans nan Bondye.

One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

Mwen mande Seyè a yon bagay, yon bagay mwen anvi anpil anpil: Se pou m' ta pase tout lavi m' nan kay Seyè a, pou m' ka gade bèl bagay li yo byen, pou m' ka pran tan m' pou m' kalkile nan kay ki apa pou li a.

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

Jou malè tonbe sou mwen, l'a pwoteje m' lakay li. L'a kache m' byen fon nan tanp li a. L'a leve m' mete yon kote pou anyen pa rive m'.

And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

Se konsa m'ap genyen batay la sou tout lènmi k'ap sènen m' yo. M'a bat tanbou, m'a ofri bèt pou touye bay Bondye nan tanp li a. M'a chante, m'a fè lwanj Seyè a.

Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

Seyè, tande m' non lè m'ap rele ou! Gen pitye pou mwen, reponn mwen non!

When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

Ou pale nan kè m', ou di m' vin jwenn ou. M'ap vin jwenn ou, Seyè.

Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Pa vire do ban mwen. Pa fache, pa repouse moun k'ap sèvi ou la. Se ou ki tout sekou mwen. Pa kite m' pou kont mwen, pa lage m'.

When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

Papa m' ak manman m' te mèt lage m', Seyè a va ranmase mwen.

Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

Seyè, moutre m' jan ou vle m' viv la. Fè m' mache nan chemen ki pa gen move pa a, paske mwen gen anpil lènmi k'ap veye m'.

Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

Pa lage m' nan men lènmi m' yo. Yo soti pou yo touye m'. Se yon bann moun k'ap bay manti.

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

Mwen menm, mwen sèten m'a viv pou m' wè jan Bondye sèvi byen ak pèp li a.

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Mete espwa ou nan Seyè a! Gen konfyans, pa dekouraje! Wi, mete espwa ou nan Seyè a!
