| 1 | Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. | Au maître de chant. Sur l'octave. Chant de David. Sauve, Yahweh ! car les hommes pieux s'en vont, les fidèles disparaissent d'entre les enfants des hommes. | Help, Jehovah; for the godly man ceaseth; For the faithful fail from among the children of men. |
| 2 | They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. | On se dit des mensonges les uns aux autres ; on parle avec des lèvres flatteuses et un coeur double. | They speak falsehood every one with his neighbor: With flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak. |
| 3 | The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: | Que Yahweh retranche toutes les lèvres flatteuses, la langue qui discourt avec jactance, | Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaketh great things; |
| 4 | Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us? | ceux qui disent : "Par notre langue nous sommes forts ; nous avons avec nous nos lèvres : qui serait notre maître ?" | Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; Our lips are our own: who is lord over us? |
| 5 | For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. | "A cause de l'oppression des affligés, du gémissement des pauvres, je veux maintenant me lever, dit Yahweh ; je leur apporterai le salut après lequel ils soupirent." | Because of the oppression of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy, Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; I will set him in the safety he panteth for. |
| 6 | The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. | Les paroles de Yahweh sont des paroles pures, un argent fondu dans un creuset sur la terre, sept fois purifié. | The words of Jehovah are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, Purified seven times. |
| 7 | Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. | Toi, Yahweh, tu les garderas ; tu les préserveras à jamais de cette génération. | Thou wilt keep them, O Jehovah, Thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever. |
| 8 | The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted. | Autour d'eux les méchants se promènent avec arrogance : autant ils s'élèvent, autant seront humiliés les enfants des hommes. | The wicked walk on every side, When vileness is exalted among the sons of men. Psalm 13 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. |
