Louis Segond 1910
1For David himself. Judge thou, O Lord, them that wrong me: overthrow them that fight against me.
1De David. Lorsqu’il contrefit l’insensé en présence d’Abimélec, et qu’il s’en alla chassé par lui.
2Take hold of arms and shield: and rise up to help me.
2Je bénirai l’Éternel en tout temps; Sa louange sera toujours dans ma bouche.
3Bring out the sword, and shut up the way against them that persecute me: say to my soul: I am thy salvation.
3Que mon âme se glorifie en l’Éternel! Que les malheureux écoutent et se réjouissent!
4Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded that devise against me.
4Exaltez avec moi l’Éternel! Célébrons tous son nom!
5Let them become as dust before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord straiten them.
5J’ai cherché l’Éternel, et il m’a répondu; Il m’a délivré de toutes mes frayeurs.
6Let their way become dark and slippery; and let the angel of the Lord pursue them.
6Quand on tourne vers lui les regards, on est rayonnant de joie, Et le visage ne se couvre pas de honte.
7For without cause they have hidden their net for me unto destruction: without cause they have upbraided my soul.
7Quand un malheureux crie, l’Éternel entend, Et il le sauve de toutes ses détresses.
8Let the snare which he knoweth not come upon him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and into that very snare let them fall.
8L’ange de l’Éternel campe autour de ceux qui le craignent, Et il les arrache au danger.
9But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; and shall be delighted in his salvation.
9Sentez et voyez combien l’Éternel est bon! Heureux l’homme qui cherche en lui son refuge!
10All my bones shall say: Lord, who is like to thee? Who deliverest the poor from the hand of them that are stronger than he; the needy and the poor from them that strip him.
10Craignez l’Éternel, vous ses saints! Car rien ne manque à ceux qui le craignent.
11Unjust witnesses rising up have asked me things I knew not.
11Les lionceaux éprouvent la disette et la faim, Mais ceux qui cherchent l’Éternel ne sont privés d’aucun bien.
12They repaid me evil for good: to the depriving me of my soul.
12Venez, mes fils, écoutez-moi! Je vous enseignerai la crainte de l’Éternel.
13But as for me, when they were troublesome to me, I was clothed with haircloth. I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer shall be turned into my bosom.
13Quel est l’homme qui aime la vie, Qui désire la prolonger pour jouir du bonheur?
14As a neighbour and as an own brother, so did I please: as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled.
14Préserve ta langue du mal, Et tes lèvres des paroles trompeuses;
15But they rejoiced against me, and came together: scourges were gathered together upon me, and I knew not.
15Éloigne-toi du mal, et fais le bien; Recherche et poursuis la paix.
16They were separated, and repented not: they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn: they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
16Les yeux de l’Éternel sont sur les justes, Et ses oreilles sont attentives à leurs cris.
17Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? rescue thou soul from their malice: my only one from the lions.
17L’Éternel tourne sa face contre les méchants, Pour retrancher de la terre leur souvenir.
18I will give thanks to thee in a great church; I will praise thee in a strong people.
18Quand les justes crient, l’Éternel entend, Et il les délivre de toutes leurs détresses;
19Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes.
19L’Éternel est près de ceux qui ont le cœur brisé, Et il sauve ceux qui ont l’esprit dans l’abattement.
20For they spoke indeed peaceably to me; and speaking in the anger of the earth they devised guile.
20Le malheur atteint souvent le juste, Mais l’Éternel l’en délivre toujours.
21And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said: Well done, well done, our eyes have seen it.
21Il garde tous ses os, Aucun d’eux n’est brisé.
22Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not thou silent: O Lord, depart not from me.
22Le malheur tue le méchant, Et les ennemis du juste sont châtiés.
23Arise, and be attentive to my judgment: to my cause, my God, and my Lord.
23L’Éternel délivre l’âme de ses serviteurs, Et tous ceux qui l’ont pour refuge échappent au châtiment.
24Judge me, O Lord my God according to thy justice, and let them not rejoice over me.
