Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1De David. Lorsqu’il contrefit l’insensé en présence d’Abimélec, et qu’il s’en alla chassé par lui.
1For David himself. Judge thou, O Lord, them that wrong me: overthrow them that fight against me.
2Je bénirai l’Éternel en tout temps; Sa louange sera toujours dans ma bouche.
2Take hold of arms and shield: and rise up to help me.
3Que mon âme se glorifie en l’Éternel! Que les malheureux écoutent et se réjouissent!
3Bring out the sword, and shut up the way against them that persecute me: say to my soul: I am thy salvation.
4Exaltez avec moi l’Éternel! Célébrons tous son nom!
4Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded that devise against me.
5J’ai cherché l’Éternel, et il m’a répondu; Il m’a délivré de toutes mes frayeurs.
5Let them become as dust before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord straiten them.
6Quand on tourne vers lui les regards, on est rayonnant de joie, Et le visage ne se couvre pas de honte.
6Let their way become dark and slippery; and let the angel of the Lord pursue them.
7Quand un malheureux crie, l’Éternel entend, Et il le sauve de toutes ses détresses.
7For without cause they have hidden their net for me unto destruction: without cause they have upbraided my soul.
8L’ange de l’Éternel campe autour de ceux qui le craignent, Et il les arrache au danger.
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.
9Sentez et voyez combien l’Éternel est bon! Heureux l’homme qui cherche en lui son refuge!
9But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; and shall be delighted in his salvation.
10Craignez l’Éternel, vous ses saints! Car rien ne manque à ceux qui le craignent.
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.
11Les lionceaux éprouvent la disette et la faim, Mais ceux qui cherchent l’Éternel ne sont privés d’aucun bien.
11Unjust witnesses rising up have asked me things I knew not.
12Venez, mes fils, écoutez-moi! Je vous enseignerai la crainte de l’Éternel.
12They repaid me evil for good: to the depriving me of my soul.
13Quel est l’homme qui aime la vie, Qui désire la prolonger pour jouir du bonheur?
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.
14Préserve ta langue du mal, Et tes lèvres des paroles trompeuses;
14As a neighbour and as an own brother, so did I please: as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled.
15Éloigne-toi du mal, et fais le bien; Recherche et poursuis la paix.
15But they rejoiced against me, and came together: scourges were gathered together upon me, and I knew not.
16Les yeux de l’Éternel sont sur les justes, Et ses oreilles sont attentives à leurs cris.
16They were separated, and repented not: they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn: they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17L’Éternel tourne sa face contre les méchants, Pour retrancher de la terre leur souvenir.
17Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? rescue thou soul from their malice: my only one from the lions.
18Quand les justes crient, l’Éternel entend, Et il les délivre de toutes leurs détresses;
18I will give thanks to thee in a great church; I will praise thee in a strong people.
19L’Éternel est près de ceux qui ont le cœur brisé, Et il sauve ceux qui ont l’esprit dans l’abattement.
19Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes.
20Le malheur atteint souvent le juste, Mais l’Éternel l’en délivre toujours.
20For they spoke indeed peaceably to me; and speaking in the anger of the earth they devised guile.
21Il garde tous ses os, Aucun d’eux n’est brisé.
21And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said: Well done, well done, our eyes have seen it.
22Le malheur tue le méchant, Et les ennemis du juste sont châtiés.
22Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not thou silent: O Lord, depart not from me.
23L’Éternel délivre l’âme de ses serviteurs, Et tous ceux qui l’ont pour refuge échappent au châtiment.
23Arise, and be attentive to my judgment: to my cause, my God, and my Lord.
