| 1 | Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. | Psaume de David. Eternel, plaide contre ceux qui plaident contre moi, fais la guerre à ceux qui me font la guerre. | Strive thou, O Jehovah, with them that strive with me: Fight thou against them that fight against me. |
| 2 | Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. | Prends le bouclier et l'écu, et lève-toi pour me secourir. | Take hold of shield and buckler, And stand up for my help. |
| 3 | Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation. | Saisis la lance, et serre le passage au-devant de ceux qui me poursuivent; dis à mon âme: je suis ta délivrance. | Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that pursue me: Say unto my soul, I am thy salvation. |
| 4 | Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. | Que ceux qui cherchent mon âme soient honteux et confus, et que ceux qui machinent mon mal, soient repoussés en arrière, et rougissent. | Let them be put to shame and brought to dishonor that seek after my soul: Let them be turned back and confounded that devise my hurt. |
| 5 | Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them. | Qu'ils soient comme de la balle exposée au vent, et que l'Ange de l'Eternel les chasse çà et là. | Let them be as chaff before the wind, And the angel of Jehovah driving [them] on. |
| 6 | Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them. | Que leur chemin soit ténébreux et glissant; que l'Ange de l'Eternel les poursuive. | Let their way be dark and slippery, And the angel of Jehovah pursuing them. |
| 7 | For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul. | Car sans cause ils m'ont caché la fosse où étaient tendus leurs rets et sans cause ils ont creusé pour surprendre mon âme. | For without cause have they hid for me their net [in] a pit; Without cause have they digged [a pit] for my soul. |
| 8 | Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall. | Que la ruine dont il ne s'avise point, lui advienne; et que son filet, qu'il a caché, le surprenne, et qu'il tombe en cette même ruine. | Let destruction come upon him unawares; And let his net that he hath hid catch himself: With destruction let him fall therein. |

| 10 | All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him? | Tous mes os diront: Eternel, qui est semblable à toi, qui délivres l'affligé de la main de celui qui est plus fort que lui, l'affligé, dis-je, et le pauvre, de la main de celui qui le pille? | All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like unto thee, Who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, Yea, the poor and the needy from him that robbeth him? |
| 11 | False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not. | Des témoins violents s'élèvent contre moi, on me redemande des choses dont je ne sais rien. | Unrighteous witnesses rise up; They ask me of things that I know not. |
| 12 | They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul. | Ils m'ont rendu le mal pour le bien, tâchant de m'ôter la vie. | They reward me evil for good, [To] the bereaving of my soul. |
| 13 | But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom. | Mais moi, quand ils ont été malades, je me vêtais d'un sac, j'affligeais mon âme par le jeûne, ma prière retournait dans mon sein. | But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I afflicted my soul with fasting; And my prayer returned into mine own bosom. |
| 14 | I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother. | J'ai agi comme si c'eût été mon intime ami, comme si c'eût été mon frère; j'allais courbé en habit de deuil, comme celui qui mènerait deuil pour sa mère. | I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother: I bowed down mourning, as one that bewaileth his mother. |
| 15 | But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not: | Mais quand j'ai chancelé, ils se réjouissaient, et s'assemblaient; des gens de néant se sont assemblés contre moi, sans que j'en susse rien; ils ont ri à bouche ouverte, et n'ont point cessé; | But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: The abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew [it] not; They did tear me, and ceased not: |
| 16 | With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth. | Avec les hypocrites d'entre les railleurs qui suivent les bonnes tables, et ils ont grincé les dents contre moi. | Like the profane mockers in feasts, They gnashed upon me with their teeth. |
| 17 | Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions. | Seigneur, combien de temps le verras-tu? retire mon âme de leurs tempêtes, mon unique d'entre les lionceaux. | Lord, how long wilt thou look on?

| 19 | Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause. | Que ceux qui me sont ennemis sans sujet ne se réjouissent point de moi; et que ceux qui me haïssent sans cause ne m'insultent point par leurs regards. | Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; Neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause. |
| 20 | For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land. | Car ils ne parlent point de paix; mais ils préméditent des choses pleines de fraude contre les pacifiques de la terre. | For they speak not peace; But they devise deceitful words against them that are quiet in the land. |

| 22 | This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me. | Ô Eternel! tu l'as vu: ne te tais point; Seigneur, ne t'éloigne point de moi. | Thou hast seen it, O Jehovah; keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me. |
| 23 | Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord. | Réveille-toi, réveille-toi, dis-je, ô mon Dieu et mon Seigneur! pour me rendre justice, et pour soutenir ma cause. | Stir up thyself, and awake to the justice [due] unto me, [Even] unto my cause, my God and my Lord. |

| 26 | Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me. | Que ceux qui se réjouissent de mon mal soient honteux et rougissent tous ensemble; et que ceux qui s'élèvent contre moi soient couverts de honte et de confusion. | Let them be put to shame and confounded together that rejoice at my hurt: Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor that magnify themselves against me. |
| 27 | Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. | Mais que ceux qui sont affectionnés à ma justice se réjouissent avec chant de triomphe, et s'égayent, et qu'ils disent incessamment: magnifié soit l'Eternel qui s'affectionne à la paix de son serviteur. | Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: Yea, let them say continually, Jehovah be magnified, Who hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. |
| 28 | And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long. | Alors ma langue s'entretiendra de ta justice et de ta louange tout le jour. | And my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness [And] of thy praise all the day long.
