| 1 | In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks. | En ce jour-là, on chantera ce cantique dans la terre de Juda : Nous avons une ville forte! Il fait de son salut le mur et l'avant-mur, | In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: we have a strong city; salvation will he appoint for walls and bulwarks. |
| 2 | Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. | Ouvrez les portes, laissez entrer la nation juste, qui garde la vérité. | Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth faith may enter in. |
| 3 | Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. | Au coeur constant vous assurez la paix, la paix, parce qu'il se confie en vous. | Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee]; because he trusteth in thee. |
| 4 | Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength: | Confiez-vous en Yahweh à jamais; car Yahweh est le rocher des siècles. | Trust ye in Jehovah for ever; for in Jehovah, [even] Jehovah, is an everlasting rock. |
| 5 | For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust. | Il a humilié ceux qui habitaient les hauteurs ; il a abaissé la ville superbe, il l'a abaissée jusqu'à terre, et lui a fait toucher la poussière. | For he hath brought down them that dwell on high, the lofty city: he layeth it low, he layeth it low even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust. |
| 6 | The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy. | Elle est foulée aux pieds, sous les pieds des humbles, les pas des malheureux. | The foot shall tread it down; even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy. |
| 7 | The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just. | Le sentier du juste est uni; elle est droite la voie que vous aplanissez au juste. | The way of the just is uprightness: thou that art upright dost direct the path of the just. |
| 8 | Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee. | Oui, sur le sentier de vos jugements, nous vous attendions, ô Yahweh; votre nom et votre souvenir étaient le désir de nos actes. | Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Jehovah, have we waited for thee; to thy name, even to thy memorial [name], is the desire of our soul. |
| 9 | With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. | Mon âme vous a désiré pendant la nuit, et au dedans de moi mon esprit vous cherchait ; car, lorsque vos jugements s'exercent sur la terre, les habitants du monde apprennent la justice. | With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee earnestly: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. |
| 10 | Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD. | Si l'on fait grâce au méchant, il n'apprend pas la justice; dans le pays de la droiture, il agit en pervers, et il ne voit pas la majesté de Yahweh. | Let favor be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, and will not behold the majesty of Jehovah. |
| 11 | LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them. | Yahweh, votre main est levée ; Ils ne la voient point. Ils verront votre zèle pour votre peuple, et seront confus ; le feu fait pour vos adversaires les dévorera. | Jehovah, thy hand is lifted up, yet they see not: but they shall see [thy] zeal for the people, and be put to shame; yea, fire shall devour thine adversaries. |
| 12 | LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us. | Yahweh, vous nous assurerez la paix, car toute notre oeuvre, c'est vous qui l'avez faite pour nous. | Jehovah, thou wilt ordain peace for us; for thou hast also wrought all our works for us. |
| 13 | O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name. | Yahweh, notre Dieu, d'autres maîtres que vous ont dominé sur nous ; grâce à vous seul, nous pouvons célébrer votre nom. | O Jehovah our God, other lords besides thee have had dominion over us; but by thee only will we make mention of thy name. |
| 14 | They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish. | Les morts, ne vivront plus, les ombres ne ressusciteront point. Vous les avez visités et exterminés, et vous avez anéanti d'eux tout souvenir. | [They are] dead, they shall not live; [they are] deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all remembrance of them to perish. |
| 15 | Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth. | Vous avez accrû la nation, Yahweh, vous avez accrû la nation et manifesté votre gloire ; vous avez reculé les limites du pays. | Thou hast increased the nation, O Jehovah, thou hast increased the nation; thou art glorified; thou hast enlarged all the borders of the land. |
| 16 | LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them. | Yahweh, dans la détresse ils vous ont recherché; Ils ont exhalé leur plainte quand vous les frappiez. | Jehovah, in trouble have they visited thee; they poured out a prayer [when] thy chastening was upon them. |
| 17 | Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD. | Comme une femme enceinte, prête à enfanter, se tord et crie dans ses douleurs, ainsi nous étions devant votre face, Yahweh. | Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain and crieth out in her pangs; so we have been before thee, O Jehovah. |
| 18 | We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen. | Nous avons conçu dans la douleur et enfanté du vent; nous n'avons pas donné le salut à la terre, et il n'est pas né d'habitants du monde. | We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen. |
| 19 | Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. | Vos morts vivront ; mes cadavres ressusciteront ; Réveillez-vous et chantez, vous qui êtes couchés dans la poussière car votre rosée, Seigneur, est une rosée de lumière, et la terre rendra au jour les trépassés. | Thy dead shall live; my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust; for thy dew is [as] the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast forth the dead. |
| 20 | Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. | Va, mon peuple, entre dans tes chambres, et ferme tes portes sur toi; cache-toi pour quelques instants; jusqu'à ce que la colère ait passé. | Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. |
| 21 | For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. | Car voici que Yahweh sort de sa demeure; pour visiter l'iniquité des habitants de la terre, et la terre découvrira le sang qu'elle a bu, et ne cachera plus ses tués. | For, behold, Jehovah cometh forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. |
