Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Mon âme, bénis l’Éternel! Éternel, mon Dieu, tu es infiniment grand! Tu es revêtu d’éclat et de magnificence!
1Alleluia. Give glory to the Lord, and call upon his name: declare his deeds among the Gentiles.
2Il s’enveloppe de lumière comme d’un manteau; Il étend les cieux comme un pavillon.
2Sing to him, yea sing praises to him: relate all his wondrous works.
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.
3Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
4Il fait des vents ses messagers, Des flammes de feu ses serviteurs.
4Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened: seek his face evermore.
5Il a établi la terre sur ses fondements, Elle ne sera jamais ébranlée.
5Remember his marvellous works which he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth.
6Tu l’avais couverte de l’abîme comme d’un vêtement, Les eaux s’arrêtaient sur les montagnes;
6O ye seed of Abraham his servant; ye sons of Jacob his chosen.
7Elles ont fui devant ta menace, Elles se sont précipitées à la voix de ton tonnerre.
7He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
8Des montagnes se sont élevées, des vallées se sont abaissées, Au lieu que tu leur avais fixé.
8He hath remembered his covenant for ever: the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
9Tu as posé une limite que les eaux ne doivent point franchir, Afin qu’elles ne reviennent plus couvrir la terre.
9Which he made to Abraham; and his oath to Isaac:
10Il conduit les sources dans des torrents Qui coulent entre les montagnes.
10And he appointed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting testament:
11Elles abreuvent tous les animaux des champs; Les ânes sauvages y étanchent leur soif.
11Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the lot of your inheritance.
12Les oiseaux du ciel habitent sur leurs bords, Et font résonner leur voix parmi les rameaux.
12When they were but a small number: yea very few, and sojourners therein:
13De sa haute demeure, il arrose les montagnes; La terre est rassasiée du fruit de tes œuvres.
13And they passed from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people.
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,
14He suffered no man to hurt them: and he reproved kings for their sakes.
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.
15Touch ye not my anointed: and do no evil to my prophets.
16Les arbres de l’Éternel se rassasient, Les cèdres du Liban, qu’il a plantés.
16And he called a famine upon the land: and he broke in pieces all the support of bread.
17C’est là que les oiseaux font leurs nids; La cigogne a sa demeure dans les cyprès,
17He sent a man before them: Joseph, who was sold for a slave.
18Les montagnes élevées sont pour les boucs sauvages, Les rochers servent de retraite aux damans.
18They humbled his feet in fetters: the iron pierced his soul,
19Il a fait la lune pour marquer les temps; Le soleil sait quand il doit se coucher.
19Until his word came. The word of the Lord inflamed him.
20Tu amènes les ténèbres, et il est nuit: Alors tous les animaux des forêts sont en mouvement;
20The king sent, and he released him: the ruler of the people, and he set him at liberty.
21Les lionceaux rugissent après la proie, Et demandent à Dieu leur nourriture.
21He made him master of his house, and ruler of all his possession.
22Le soleil se lève: ils se retirent, Et se couchent dans leurs tanières.
22That he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his ancients wisdom.
23L’homme sort pour se rendre à son ouvrage, Et à son travail, jusqu’au soir.
23And Israel went into Egypt: and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Cham.
24Que tes œuvres sont en grand nombre, ô Éternel! Tu les as toutes faites avec sagesse. La terre est remplie de tes biens.
24And he increased his people exceedingly: and strengthened them over their enemies,
25Voici la grande et vaste mer: Là se meuvent sans nombre Des animaux petits et grands;
25He turned their heart to hate his people: and to deal deceitfully with his servants.
26Là se promènent les navires, Et ce léviathan que tu as formé pour se jouer dans les flots.
26He sent Moses his servant: Aaron the man whom he had chosen.
27Tous ces animaux espèrent en toi, Pour que tu leur donnes la nourriture en son temps.
27He gave them power to shew his signs, and his wonders in the land of Cham.
28Tu la leur donnes, et ils la recueillent; Tu ouvres ta main, et ils se rassasient de biens.
28He sent darkness, and made it obscure: and grieved not his words.
29Tu caches ta face: ils sont tremblants; Tu leur retires le souffle: ils expirent, Et retournent dans leur poussière.
29He turned their waters into blood, and destroyed their fish.
30Tu envoies ton souffle: ils sont créés, Et tu renouvelles la face de la terre.
30Their land brought forth frogs, in the inner chambers of their kings.
31Que la gloire de l’Éternel subsiste à jamais! Que l’Éternel se réjouisse de ses œuvres!
31He spoke, and there came divers sorts of flies and sciniphs in all their coasts.
32Il regarde la terre, et elle tremble; Il touche les montagnes, et elles sont fumantes.
32He gave them hail for rain, a burning fire in the land.
33Je chanterai l’Éternel tant que je vivrai, Je célébrerai mon Dieu tant que j’existerai.
33And he destroyed their vineyards and their fig trees: and he broke in pieces the trees of their coasts.
34Que mes paroles lui soient agréables! Je veux me réjouir en l’Éternel.
34He spoke, and the locust came, and the bruchus, of which there was no number.
35Que les pécheurs disparaissent de la terre, Et que les méchants ne soient plus! Mon âme, bénis l’Éternel! Louez l’Éternel!
35And they devoured all the grass in their land, and consumed all the fruit of their ground.
