| 1 | (40 :1) Au chef des chantres. De David. Psaume. (40 :2) J'avais mis en l'Éternel mon espérance ; Et il s'est incliné vers moi, il a écouté mes cris. | I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. | I waited patiently for Jehovah; And he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. |
| 2 | (40 :3) Il m'a retiré de la fosse de destruction, Du fond de la boue ; Et il a dressé mes pieds sur le roc, Il a affermi mes pas. | He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. | He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay; And he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. |
| 3 | (40 :4) Il a mis dans ma bouche un cantique nouveau, Une louange à notre Dieu ; Beaucoup l'ont vu, et ont eu de la crainte, Et ils se sont confiés en l'Éternel. | And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. | And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: Many shall see it, and fear, And shall trust in Jehovah. |
| 4 | (40 :5) Heureux l'homme qui place en l'Éternel sa confiance, Et qui ne se tourne pas vers les hautains et les menteurs ! | Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. | Blessed is the man that maketh Jehovah his trust, And respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. |
| 5 | (40 :6) Tu as multiplié, Éternel, mon Dieu ! Tes merveilles et tes desseins en notre faveur ; Nul n'est comparable à toi ; Je voudrais les publier et les proclamer, Mais leur nombre est trop grand pour que je les raconte. | Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. | Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful works which thou hast done, And thy thoughts which are to us-ward; They cannot be set in order unto thee; If I would declare and speak of them, They are more than can be numbered. |
| 6 | (40 :7) Tu ne désires ni sacrifice ni offrande, Tu m'as ouvert les oreilles ; Tu ne demandes ni holocauste ni victime expiatoire. | Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. | Sacrifice and offering thou hast no delight in; Mine ears hast thou opened: Burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required. |
| 7 | (40 :8) Alors je dis : Voici, je viens Avec le rouleau du livre écrit pour moi. | Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, | Then said I, Lo, I am come; In the roll of the book it is written of me: |
| 8 | (40 :9) Je veux faire ta volonté, mon Dieu ! Et ta loi est au fond de mon coeur. | I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. | I delight to do thy will, O my God; Yea, thy law is within my heart. |
| 9 | (40 :10) J'annonce la justice dans la grande assemblée ; Voici, je ne ferme pas mes lèvres, Éternel, tu le sais ! | I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. | I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly; Lo, I will not refrain my lips, O Jehovah, thou knowest. |
| 10 | (40 :11) Je ne retiens pas dans mon coeur ta justice, Je publie ta vérité et ton salut ; Je ne cache pas ta bonté et ta fidélité Dans la grande assemblée. | I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation. | I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great assembly. |
| 11 | (40 :12) Toi, Éternel ! tu ne me refuseras pas tes compassions ; Ta bonté et ta fidélité me garderont toujours. | Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. | Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Jehovah; Let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. |
| 12 | (40 :13) Car des maux sans nombre m'environnent ; Les châtiments de mes iniquités m'atteignent, Et je ne puis en supporter la vue ; Ils sont plus nombreux que les cheveux de ma tête, Et mon courage m'abandonne. | For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me. | For innumerable evils have compassed me about; Mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; They are more than the hairs of my head; And my heart hath failed me. |
| 13 | (40 :14) Veuille me délivrer, ô Éternel ! Éternel, viens en hâte à mon secours ! | Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me. | Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me: Make haste to help me, O Jehovah. |
| 14 | (40 :15) Que tous ensemble ils soient honteux et confus, Ceux qui en veulent à ma vie pour l'enlever ! Qu'ils reculent et rougissent, Ceux qui désirent ma perte ! | Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil. | Let them be put to shame and confounded together That seek after my soul to destroy it: Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor That delight in my hurt. |
| 15 | (40 :16) Qu'ils soient dans la stupeur par l'effet de leur honte, Ceux qui me disent : Ah ! ah ! | Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha. | Let them be desolate by reason of their shame That say unto me, Aha, aha. |
| 16 | (40 :17) Que tous ceux qui te cherchent Soient dans l'allégresse et se réjouissent en toi ! Que ceux qui aiment ton salut Disent sans cesse : Exalté soit l'Éternel ! | Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified. | Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: Let such as love thy salvation say continually, Jehovah be magnified. |
| 17 | (40 :18) Moi, je suis pauvre et indigent ; Mais le Seigneur pense à moi. Tu es mon aide et mon libérateur : Mon Dieu, ne tarde pas ! | But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God. | But I am poor and needy; [Yet] the Lord thinketh upon me: Thou art my help and my deliverer; Make no tarrying, O my God. Psalm 41 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. |
