1A canticle of a psalm for the sons of Core: unto the end, for Maheleth, to answer understanding of Eman the Ezrahite.
1Des fils de Koré. Psaume. Cantique. Elle est fondée sur les montagnes saintes.
2O Lord, the God of my salvation: I have cried in the day, and in the night before thee.
2L’Éternel aime les portes de Sion Plus que toutes les demeures de Jacob.
3Let my prayer come in before thee: incline thy ear to my petition.
3Des choses glorieuses ont été dites sur toi, Ville de Dieu! — Pause.
4For my soul is filled with evils: and my life hath drawn nigh to hell.
4Je proclame l’Égypte et Babylone parmi ceux qui me connaissent; Voici, le pays des Philistins, Tyr, avec l’Éthiopie: C’est dans Sion qu’ils sont nés.
5I am counted among them that go down to the pit: I am become as a man without help,
5Et de Sion il est dit: Tous y sont nés, Et c’est le Très-Haut qui l’affermit.
6Free among the dead. Like the slain sleeping in the sepulchres, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cast off from thy hand.
6L’Éternel compte en inscrivant les peuples: C’est là qu’ils sont nés. — Pause.
7They have laid me in the lower pit: in the dark places, and in the shadow of death.
7Et ceux qui chantent et ceux qui dansent s’écrient: Toutes mes sources sont en toi.
8Thy wrath is strong over me: and all thy waves thou hast brought in upon me.
