Nan fon labim m ap rele ou
O koute mwen, Senyè!
Se nan ou sèl mwen jwenn sekou
Pou m pa dezespere!
Si ou ta sonje tout peche
Chak moun fè pou ou pini yo,
Ki moun ki ta reziste?

2
Grasa lanmou, nou jwenn nan ou
Padon peche nou yo.
Jistis nou menm pa bon ditou,
Zèv nou se bagay fo.
Nou pa gen dwa vante tèt nou
Pou anyen bon k ap fèt nan nou;
Se gras ou sèl k ap fè li.

3
Tout espwa m se nan Senyè a,
Zèv mwen pa vo anyen,
Se pa sou yo mwen konte,
Lafwa m se nan li l ye.
Mwen kite tout bagay nan men l
Li se fòs mwen, li se lavi,
M ap tann sekou li k ap vini.

4
Menmsi li pa ede m touswit,
Si m oblije tann lontan
De jou pase e menm de nwit,
San m pa kapab konprann;
Kè mwen pa p janm pèdi lafwa,
Li pa p kite mwen nan fènwa
M ap tann sekou l ak konfyans.

5
Peche nou yo te tèlman gran,
Nou te tonbe nan fon ;
Men gras li te pi konsekan
Lanmou li tèlman gran ;
Bèje nou, Sovè nou, se li
Ki vle ofri tout moun lavi
Sove yo nan men Satan.

1
In the depths of my sorrow I call to you,
Oh listen to me, Lord!
It is in you alone that I find help
So that I do not despair!
If you were to remember all the sins
Each person committed for you to punish,
Who could withstand it?

2
By the love we find in you,
Our sins are forgiven.
Our own righteousness is not good at all,
Our works are worthless.
We have no right to boast
About anything good in us;
It is only by your grace that it is done.

3
All my hope is in the Lord,
My works are worth nothing;
I do not rely on them,
My faith is in him.
I leave everything in his hands;
He is my strength, he is my life,
I await the help that is coming.

4
Even if he does not help me immediately,
If I must wait a long time,
Two days pass and even two nights,
Without understanding;
My heart will never lose faith,
He will not leave me in darkness;
I will wait for his help with confidence.

5
Our sins were so great,
We fell into the depths;
But his grace was more powerful,
His love so great;
Our Shepherd, our Savior, it is he
Who wants to offer everyone life,
To save them from the hand of Satan.
