Guide: Creator Parent, hear us as we cry out to you for justice. Turn your ear to us and listen closely, for our prayer comes from lips free from deceit.
~ Paran Kreyatè, tande nou pandan n ap kriye nan pye w pou jistis. Panche zòrèy ou sou nou epi koute byen, paske lapriyè nou an soti nan bouch ki pa gen twonpri.
All: It is from you that wrongs will be made right again. So let your eyes see our hunger for justice. You have put our hearts to a fiery test both day and night.
~ Se ou menm ki va fè nou korije sa ki mal yo. Se pou je ou wè swaf nou genyen pou jistis. Ou mete kè nou nan yon gwo eprèv lajounen kou lannwit.
Guide: Though some have tried to tempt us to do their dark deeds, your words and love have kept us from following that violent path.
~ Malgre gen kèk moun ki te eseye tante nou pou nou fè move zak yo, pawòl ou ak lanmou ou anpeche nou swiv chemen vyolan sa a.
All: With firm steps we have followed the way you have set before us. We are attentive that our feet do not slip. We have called out to you, Creator.
~ Avèk pa fèm, nou swiv chemen ou te mete devan nou an. Nou veye pou pye nou pa glise. Nou rele nan pye ou, Kreyatè.
Guide: We know you will answer us. Turn your ear to us and listen closely when we send our voice to you. Show us the wonders of your faithful and true love.
~ Nou konnen ou va reponn nou. Panche zòrèy ou sou nou epi koute byen lè nou voye vwa nou ba ou. Montre nou mèvèy lanmou fidèl ak vre ou a.
All: For you, the One Who Sets Us Free, have the power to rescue the ones who take shelter under your strong arm. In the end, we will know your right ways when we see your face. We will be satisfied when we awaken to see you as you truly are.
~ Paske ou menm, Sila a ki delivre nou an, ou gen pouvwa pou sove moun ki pran refij anba bra fò ou yo. Alafen, n ap konnen chemen dwat ou yo lè n a wè figi ou. N ap kontan lè n a leve pou n wè ou jan ou ye tout bon an.

Psalm 16 The Lord, the Psalmist’s Portion in Life and Salvation in Death. A [a]Mikhtam of David.
1 Protect me, God, for I take refuge in You.
2 [b]I said to the Lord, “You are [c]my Lord;
7 I will bless the Lord who has advised me; Indeed, my [g]mind instructs me in the night.
8 I have set the Lord continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely.
10 For You will not abandon my soul to [h]Sheol; You will not [i]allow Your [j]Holy One to [k]undergo decay.
11 You will make known to me the way of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasure
Sòm 16 (Haitian Creole)
1 Sè yon kantik David. Pwoteje m', Bondye, paske se bò kote ou m'ap chache pwoteksyon.
2 Mwen di Seyè a: -Se ou ki sèl Mèt mwen. Se ou menm ki tout mwen. Pa gen pase ou!
7 M'ap fè lwanj Seyè a paske li ban m' bon konsèy. Menm lannwit, konsyans mwen di m' sa pou m' fè.
8 Mwen toujou mete Seyè a devan je m'. Paske li toujou bò kote m'. Anyen pa ka brannen m'.
9 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.
10 Paske ou p'ap kite m' kote mò yo ye a, ou p'ap penmèt moun k'ap sèvi ou la pouri anba tè.
11 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.
