Louis Segond 1910
1Alleluia. Give glory to the Lord, and call upon his name: declare his deeds among the Gentiles.
1Mon âme, bénis l’Éternel! Éternel, mon Dieu, tu es infiniment grand! Tu es revêtu d’éclat et de magnificence!
2Sing to him, yea sing praises to him: relate all his wondrous works.
2Il s’enveloppe de lumière comme d’un manteau; Il étend les cieux comme un pavillon.
3Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
3Il forme avec les eaux le faîte de sa demeure; Il prend les nuées pour son char, Il s’avance sur les ailes du vent.
4Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened: seek his face evermore.
4Il fait des vents ses messagers, Des flammes de feu ses serviteurs.
5Remember his marvellous works which he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth.
5Il a établi la terre sur ses fondements, Elle ne sera jamais ébranlée.
6O ye seed of Abraham his servant; ye sons of Jacob his chosen.
6Tu l’avais couverte de l’abîme comme d’un vêtement, Les eaux s’arrêtaient sur les montagnes;
7He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
7Elles ont fui devant ta menace, Elles se sont précipitées à la voix de ton tonnerre.
8He hath remembered his covenant for ever: the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
8Des montagnes se sont élevées, des vallées se sont abaissées, Au lieu que tu leur avais fixé.
9Which he made to Abraham; and his oath to Isaac:
9Tu as posé une limite que les eaux ne doivent point franchir, Afin qu’elles ne reviennent plus couvrir la terre.
10And he appointed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting testament:
10Il conduit les sources dans des torrents Qui coulent entre les montagnes.
11Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the lot of your inheritance.
11Elles abreuvent tous les animaux des champs; Les ânes sauvages y étanchent leur soif.
12When they were but a small number: yea very few, and sojourners therein:
12Les oiseaux du ciel habitent sur leurs bords, Et font résonner leur voix parmi les rameaux.
13And they passed from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people.
13De sa haute demeure, il arrose les montagnes; La terre est rassasiée du fruit de tes œuvres.
14He suffered no man to hurt them: and he reproved kings for their sakes.
14Il fait germer l’herbe pour le bétail, Et les plantes pour les besoins de l’homme, Afin que la terre produise de la nourriture,
15Touch ye not my anointed: and do no evil to my prophets.
15Le vin qui réjouit le cœur de l’homme, Et fait plus que l’huile resplendir son visage, Et le pain qui soutient le cœur de l’homme.
16And he called a famine upon the land: and he broke in pieces all the support of bread.
16Les arbres de l’Éternel se rassasient, Les cèdres du Liban, qu’il a plantés.
17He sent a man before them: Joseph, who was sold for a slave.
17C’est là que les oiseaux font leurs nids; La cigogne a sa demeure dans les cyprès,
18They humbled his feet in fetters: the iron pierced his soul,
18Les montagnes élevées sont pour les boucs sauvages, Les rochers servent de retraite aux damans.
19Until his word came. The word of the Lord inflamed him.
19Il a fait la lune pour marquer les temps; Le soleil sait quand il doit se coucher.
20The king sent, and he released him: the ruler of the people, and he set him at liberty.
20Tu amènes les ténèbres, et il est nuit: Alors tous les animaux des forêts sont en mouvement;
21He made him master of his house, and ruler of all his possession.
21Les lionceaux rugissent après la proie, Et demandent à Dieu leur nourriture.
22That he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his ancients wisdom.
22Le soleil se lève: ils se retirent, Et se couchent dans leurs tanières.
23And Israel went into Egypt: and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Cham.
23L’homme sort pour se rendre à son ouvrage, Et à son travail, jusqu’au soir.
24And he increased his people exceedingly: and strengthened them over their enemies,
24Que tes œuvres sont en grand nombre, ô Éternel! Tu les as toutes faites avec sagesse. La terre est remplie de tes biens.
25He turned their heart to hate his people: and to deal deceitfully with his servants.
25Voici la grande et vaste mer: Là se meuvent sans nombre Des animaux petits et grands;
26He sent Moses his servant: Aaron the man whom he had chosen.
26Là se promènent les navires, Et ce léviathan que tu as formé pour se jouer dans les flots.
27He gave them power to shew his signs, and his wonders in the land of Cham.
27Tous ces animaux espèrent en toi, Pour que tu leur donnes la nourriture en son temps.
28He sent darkness, and made it obscure: and grieved not his words.
28Tu la leur donnes, et ils la recueillent; Tu ouvres ta main, et ils se rassasient de biens.
29He turned their waters into blood, and destroyed their fish.
29Tu caches ta face: ils sont tremblants; Tu leur retires le souffle: ils expirent, Et retournent dans leur poussière.
30Their land brought forth frogs, in the inner chambers of their kings.
30Tu envoies ton souffle: ils sont créés, Et tu renouvelles la face de la terre.
31He spoke, and there came divers sorts of flies and sciniphs in all their coasts.
31Que la gloire de l’Éternel subsiste à jamais! Que l’Éternel se réjouisse de ses œuvres!
32He gave them hail for rain, a burning fire in the land.
32Il regarde la terre, et elle tremble; Il touche les montagnes, et elles sont fumantes.
33And he destroyed their vineyards and their fig trees: and he broke in pieces the trees of their coasts.
33Je chanterai l’Éternel tant que je vivrai, Je célébrerai mon Dieu tant que j’existerai.
34He spoke, and the locust came, and the bruchus, of which there was no number.
34Que mes paroles lui soient agréables! Je veux me réjouir en l’Éternel.
35And they devoured all the grass in their land, and consumed all the fruit of their ground.
35Que les pécheurs disparaissent de la terre, Et que les méchants ne soient plus! Mon âme, bénis l’Éternel! Louez l’Éternel!
36And he slew all the firstborn in their land: the firstfruits of all their labour.
