1Unto the end, a psalm for David.
1Cantique. Psaume de David.
2O God, be not thou silent in thy praise: for the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful man is opened against me.
2Mon cœur est affermi, ô Dieu! Je chanterai, je ferai retentir mes instruments: c’est ma gloire!
3They have spoken against with deceitful tongues; and they have compassed me about with words of hatred; and have fought against me without cause.
3Réveillez-vous, mon luth et ma harpe! Je réveillerai l’aurore.
4Instead of making me a return of love, they detracted me: but I gave myself to prayer.
4Je te louerai parmi les peuples, Éternel! Je te chanterai parmi les nations.
5And they repaid me evil for good: and hatred for my love.
5Car ta bonté s’élève au-dessus des cieux, Et ta fidélité jusqu’aux nues.
6Set thou the sinner over him: and may the devil stand at his right hand.
6Élève-toi sur les cieux, ô Dieu! Et que ta gloire soit sur toute la terre!
7When he is judged, may he go out condemned; and may his prayer be turned to sin.
7Afin que tes bien-aimés soient délivrés, Sauve par ta droite, et exauce-nous!
8May his days be few: and his bishopric let another take.
8Dieu a dit dans sa sainteté: Je triompherai, Je partagerai Sichem, je mesurerai la vallée de Succoth;
9May his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
9A moi Galaad, à moi Manassé; Éphraïm est le rempart de ma tête, Et Juda, mon sceptre;
10Let his children be carried about vagabonds, and beg; and let them be cast out of their dwellings.
10Moab est le bassin où je me lave; Je jette mon soulier sur Édom; Je pousse des cris de joie sur le pays des Philistins!
11May the userer search all his substance: and let strangers plunder his labours.
11Qui me mènera dans la ville forte? Qui me conduit à Édom?
12May there be none to help him: nor none to pity his fatherless offspring.
12N’est-ce pas toi, ô Dieu, qui nous as repoussés, Et qui ne sortais plus, ô Dieu, avec nos armées?
13May his posterity be cut off; in one generation may his name be blotted out.
13Donne-nous du secours contre la détresse! Le secours de l’homme n’est que vanité.
14May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered in the sight of the Lord: and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
14Avec Dieu, nous ferons des exploits; Il écrasera nos ennemis.
15May they be before the lord continually, and let the memory of them perish from the earth:
