Louis Segond 1910
1For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: O Lord my God, thou art exceedingly great. Thou hast put on praise and beauty:
1De David. Mon âme, bénis l’Éternel! Que tout ce qui est en moi bénisse son saint nom!
2And art clothed with light as with a garment. Who stretchest out the heaven like a pavilion:
2Mon âme, bénis l’Éternel, Et n’oublie aucun de ses bienfaits!
3Who coverest the higher rooms thereof with water. Who makest the clouds thy chariot: who walkest upon the wings of the winds.
3C’est lui qui pardonne toutes tes iniquités, Qui guérit toutes tes maladies;
4Who makest thy angels spirits: and thy ministers a burning fire.
4C’est lui qui délivre ta vie de la fosse, Qui te couronne de bonté et de miséricorde;
5Who hast founded the earth upon its own bases: it shall not be moved for ever and ever.
5C’est lui qui rassasie de biens ta vieillesse, Qui te fait rajeunir comme l’aigle.
6The deep like a garment is its clothing: above the mountains shall the waters stand.
6L’Éternel fait justice, Il fait droit à tous les opprimés.
7At thy rebuke they shall flee: at the voice of thy thunder they shall fear.
7Il a manifesté ses voies à Moïse, Ses œuvres aux enfants d’Israël.
8The mountains ascend, and the plains descend into the place which thou hast founded for them.
8L’Éternel est miséricordieux et compatissant, Lent à la colère et riche en bonté;
9Thou hast set a bound which they shall not pass over; neither shall they return to cover the earth.
9Il ne conteste pas sans cesse, Il ne garde pas sa colère à toujours;
10Thou sendest forth springs in the vales: between the midst of the hills the waters shall pass.
10Il ne nous traite pas selon nos péchés, Il ne nous punit pas selon nos iniquités.
11All the beasts of the field shall drink: the wild asses shall expect in their thirst.
11Mais autant les cieux sont élevés au-dessus de la terre, Autant sa bonté est grande pour ceux qui le craignent;
12Over them the birds of the air shall dwell: from the midst of the rocks they shall give forth their voices.
12Autant l’orient est éloigné de l’occident, Autant il éloigne de nous nos transgressions.
13Thou waterest the hills from thy upper rooms: the earth shall be filled with the fruit of thy works:
13Comme un père a compassion de ses enfants, L’Éternel a compassion de ceux qui le craignent.
14Bringing forth grass for cattle, and herb for the service of men. That thou mayst bring bread out of the earth:
14Car il sait de quoi nous sommes formés, Il se souvient que nous sommes poussière.
15And that wine may cheer the heart of man. That he may make the face cheerful with oil: and that bread may strengthen man’s heart.
15L’homme! Ses jours sont comme l’herbe, Il fleurit comme la fleur des champs.
16The trees of the field shall be filled, and the cedars of Libanus which he hath planted:
16Lorsqu’un vent passe sur elle, elle n’est plus, Et le lieu qu’elle occupait ne la reconnaît plus.
17There the sparrows shall make their nests. The highest of them is the house of the heron.
17Mais la bonté de l’Éternel dure à jamais pour ceux qui le craignent, Et sa miséricorde pour les enfants de leurs enfants,
18The high hills are a refuge for the harts, the rock for the irchins.
18Pour ceux qui gardent son alliance, Et se souviennent de ses commandements afin de les accomplir.
19He hath made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
19L’Éternel a établi son trône dans les cieux, Et son règne domine sur toutes choses.
20Thou hast appointed darkness, and it is night: in it shall all the beasts of the woods go about:
20Bénissez l’Éternel, vous ses anges, Qui êtes puissants en force, et qui exécutez ses ordres, En obéissant à la voix de sa parole!
21The young lions roaring after their prey, and seeking their meat from God.
21Bénissez l’Éternel, vous toutes ses armées, Qui êtes ses serviteurs, et qui faites sa volonté!
22The sun ariseth, and they are gathered together: and they shall lie down in their dens.
22Bénissez l’Éternel, vous toutes ses œuvres, Dans tous les lieux de sa domination! Mon âme, bénis l’Éternel!
23Man shall go forth to his work, and to his labour until the evening.
