| 1 | Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust. | Garde-moi ô Dieu, car près de toi je me réfugie | Preserve me, O God; for in thee do I take refuge. |
| 2 | O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; | Je dis à Yahweh : "Tu es mon Seigneur, toi seul es mon bien." | [O my soul], thou hast said unto Jehovah, Thou art my Lord: I have no good beyond thee. |
| 3 | But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. | Les saints qui sont dans le pays, ces illustres, sont l'objet de toute mon affection. | As for the saints that are in the earth, They are the excellent in whom is all my delight. |
| 4 | Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. | On multiplie les idoles, on court après les dieux étrangers ; je ne répandrai point leurs libations de sang, je ne mettrai pas leurs noms sur mes lèvres. | Their sorrows shall be multiplied that give gifts for another [god]: Their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, Nor take their names upon my lips. |
| 5 | The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. | Yahweh est la part de mon héritage et de ma coupe, c'est toi qui m'assures mon lot. | Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: Thou maintainest my lot. |
| 6 | The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. | Le cordeau a mesuré pour moi une portion délicieuse ; oui, un splendide héritage m'est échu. | The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly heritage. |
| 7 | I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. | Je bénis Yahweh qui m'a conseillé; la nuit même, mes reins m'avertissent. | I will bless Jehovah, who hath given me counsel; Yea, my heart instructeth me in the night seasons. |
| 8 | I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. | Je mets Yahweh constamment sous mes yeux, car il est à ma droite : je ne chancellerai point. | I have set Jehovah always before me: Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. |
| 9 | Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. | Aussi mon coeur est dans la joie, mon âme dans l'allégresse, mon corps lui-même repose en sécurité. | Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth; My flesh also shall dwell in safety. |
| 10 | For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. | Car tu ne livreras pas mon âme au schéol, tu ne permettras pas que celui qui t'aime voie la corruption. | For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol; Neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption. |
| 11 | Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. | Tu me feras connaître le sentier de la vie ; il y a plénitude de joie devant ta face, des délices éternelles dans ta droite. | Thou wilt show me the path of life: In thy presence is fulness of joy; In thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 17 A Prayer of David. |
