Psalms 7

World English Bible

Louis Segond 1910

1LORD, my God, I take refuge in you. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,

1Complainte de David. Chantée à l’Éternel, au sujet de Cusch, Benjamite.

2lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.

2Éternel, mon Dieu! Je cherche en toi mon refuge; Sauve-moi de tous mes persécuteurs, et délivre-moi,

3LORD, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands,

3Afin qu’ils ne me déchirent pas, comme un lion Qui dévore sans que personne vienne au secours.

4if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me (yes, I have plundered him who without cause was my adversary),

4Éternel, mon Dieu! Si j’ai fait cela, S’il y a de l’iniquité dans mes mains,

5let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; yes, let him tread my life down to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. Selah.

5Si j’ai rendu le mal à celui qui était paisible envers moi, Si j’ai dépouillé celui qui m’opprimait sans cause,

6Arise, LORD, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.

6Que l’ennemi me poursuive et m’atteigne, Qu’il foule à terre ma vie, Et qu’il couche ma gloire dans la poussière! — Pause.

7Let the congregation of the peoples surround you. Rule over them on high.

7Lève-toi, ô Éternel! Dans ta colère, Lève-toi contre la fureur de mes adversaires, Réveille-toi pour me secourir, ordonne un jugement!

8The LORD administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, LORD, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.

8Que l’assemblée des peuples t’environne! Monte au-dessus d’elle vers les lieux élevés!

9Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.

9L’Éternel juge les peuples: Rends-moi justice, ô Éternel! Selon mon droit et selon mon innocence!

10My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.

10Mets un terme à la malice des méchants, Et affermis le juste, Toi qui sondes les cœurs et les reins, Dieu juste!

11God is a righteous judge, yes, a God who has indignation every day.

11Mon bouclier est en Dieu, Qui sauve ceux dont le cœur est droit.

12If a man doesn’t repent, he will sharpen his sword; he has bent and strung his bow.

12Dieu est un juste juge, Dieu s’irrite en tout temps.

13He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death. He makes ready his flaming arrows.

13Si le méchant ne se convertit pas, il aiguise son glaive, Il bande son arc, et il vise;

14Behold, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought out falsehood.

14Il dirige sur lui des traits meurtriers, Il rend ses flèches brûlantes.

15He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.

15Voici, le méchant prépare le mal, Il conçoit l’iniquité, et il enfante le néant.

16The trouble he causes shall return to his own head. His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.

16Il ouvre une fosse, il la creuse, Et il tombe dans la fosse qu’il a faite.

17I will give thanks to the LORD according to his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

17Son iniquité retombe sur sa tête, Et sa violence redescend sur son front.
