| 1 | Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? | Pourquoi, Yahweh, te tiens-tu éloigné ? et te caches-tu au temps de la détresse ? | Why standest thou afar off, O Jehovah? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? |
| 2 | The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. | Quand le méchant s'enorgueillit, les malheureux sont consumés; ils sont pris dans les intrigues qu'il a conçues. | In the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued; Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived. |
| 3 | For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth. | Car le méchant se glorifie de sa convoitise; le ravisseur maudit, méprise Yahweh. | For the wicked boasteth of his heart`s desire, And the covetous renounceth, [yea], contemneth Jehovah. |
| 4 | The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. | Dans son arrogance, le méchant dit : "Il ne punit pas ! "Il n'y a pas de Dieu : voilà toutes ses pensées. | The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, [saith], He will not require [it]. All his thoughts are, There is no God. |
| 5 | His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. | Ses voies sont prospères en tout temps! Tes jugements sont trop élevés pour qu'il s'en inquiète ; tous ses adversaires, il les dissipe d'un souffle. | His ways are firm at all times; Thy judgments are far above out of his sight: As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them. |
| 6 | He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity. | Il dit dans son coeur : "Je ne serai pas ébranlé, je suis pour toujours à l'abri du malheur." | He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved; To all generations I shall not be in adversity. |
| 7 | His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity. | Sa bouche est pleine de malédiction, de tromperie et de violence; sous sa langue est la malice et l'iniquité. | His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression: Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity. |
| 8 | He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor. | Il se met en embuscade près des hameaux, dans les lieux couverts il assassine l'innocent. Ses yeux épient l'homme sans défense; | He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; In the secret places doth he murder the innocent; His eyes are privily set against the helpless. |
| 9 | He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net. | il est aux aguets dans le lieu couvert, comme un lion dans son fourré ; il est aux aguets pour surprendre le pauvre; il se saisit du pauvre en le tirant dans son filet. | He lurketh in secret as a lion in his covert; He lieth in wait to catch the poor: He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him in his net. |
| 10 | He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. | Il se courbe, il se baisse, et les malheureux tombent dans ses griffes. | He croucheth, he boweth down, And the helpless fall by his strong ones. |
| 11 | He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it. | Il dit dans son coeur : "Dieu a oublié ! Il a couvert sa face, il ne voit jamais rien." | He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten; He hideth his face; he will never see it. |
| 12 | Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble. | Lève-toi, Yahweh ; ô Dieu, lève ta main! N'oublie pas les affligés. | Arise, O Jehovah; O God, lift up thy hand: Forget not the poor. |
| 13 | Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it. | Pourquoi le méchant méprise-t-il Dieu ? Pourquoi dit-il en son coeur : "Tu ne punis pas ?" | Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart, Thou wilt not require [it]? |
| 14 | Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless. | Tu as vu pourtant; car tu regardes la peine et la souffrance; pour prendre en main leur cause. A toi s'abandonne le malheureux, à l'orphelin ta viens en aide. | Thou hast seen [it]; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: The helpless committeth [himself] unto thee; Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless. |
| 15 | Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none. | Brise le bras du méchant; l'impie, - si tu cherches son crime, ne le trouveras-tu pas ? | Break thou the arm of the wicked; And as for the evil man, seek out his wickedness till thou find none. |
| 16 | The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land. | Yahweh est roi à jamais et pour l'éternité, les nations seront exterminées de sa terre. | Jehovah is King for ever and ever: The nations are perished out of his land. |
| 17 | LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: | Tu as entendu le désir des affligés, Yahweh; tu affermis leur coeur, tu prêtes une oreille attentive, | Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek: Thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear; |
| 18 | To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress. | pour rendre justice à l'orphelin et à l'opprimé, afin que l'homme, tiré de la terre, cesse d'inspirer l'effroi. | To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, That man who is of the earth may be terrible no more. Psalm 11 For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David. |
