| 1 | Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. | Psaume de David, donné au maître chantre, pour le chanter sur Néguinoth. Dieu! de ma justice, puisque je crie, réponds-moi; quand j'étais à l'étroit, tu m'as mis au large; aie pitié de moi, et exauce ma requête. | Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness; Thou hast set me at large [when I was] in distress: Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. |
| 2 | O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah. | Gens d'autorité, jusqu'à quand ma gloire sera-t-elle diffamée? jusqu'à quand aimerez-vous la vanité, et chercherez-vous le mensonge? Sélah. | O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? [How long] will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? Selah |
| 3 | But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him. | Or sachez que l'Eternel s'est choisi un bien-aimé. L'Eternel m'exaucera quand je crierai vers lui. | But know that Jehovah hath set apart for himself him that is godly: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him. |
| 4 | Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. | Tremblez, et ne péchez point; pensez en vous-mêmes sur votre couche, et demeurez tranquilles. Sélah. | Stand in awe, and sin not: Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah |
| 5 | Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD. | Sacrifiez des sacrifices de justice, et confiez-vous en l'Eternel. | Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in Jehovah. |
| 6 | There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. | Plusieurs disent: qui nous fera voir des biens? Lève sur nous la clarté de ta face, ô Eternel! | Many there are that say, Who will show us [any] good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. |
| 7 | Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. | Tu as mis plus de joie dans mon coeur, qu'ils n'en ont au temps que leur froment et leur meilleur vin ont été abondants. | Thou hast put gladness in my heart, More than [they have] when their grain and their new wine are increased. |
| 8 | I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety. | Je me coucherai et je dormirai aussi en paix; car toi seul, ô Eternel! me feras habiter en assurance. | In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; For thou, Jehovah, alone makest me dwell in safety. Psalm 5 For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. |
