| 1 | I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. | Au maître-chantre. Psaume de David. J'ai patiemment attendu l'Éternel; il s'est incliné vers moi, il a entendu mes cris. | I waited patiently for Jehovah; And he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. |
| 2 | 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. | Il m'a fait remonter de la fosse de destruction, du bourbier fangeux; il a posé mes pieds sur le roc, il a affermi mes pas. | 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 | 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. | Et il a mis dans ma bouche un nouveau chant de louange à notre Dieu. Plusieurs le verront, et auront de la crainte, et se confieront 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 Jehovah. |
| 4 | Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. | Heureux l'homme qui place en l'Éternel sa confiance, et ne se tourne pas vers les orgueilleux, vers ceux qui s'adonnent au mensonge! | Blessed is the man that maketh Jehovah his trust, And respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. |
| 5 | 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. | Éternel, mon Dieu, tu as multiplié tes merveilles et tes pensées en notre faveur; nul ne peut être comparé à toi. Veux-je les publier et les dire? Elles sont trop nombreuses pour les raconter. | 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 | Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. | Tu ne prends plaisir ni au sacrifice, ni à l'offrande; tu m'as percé les oreilles; tu ne demandes point d'holocauste, ni de sacrifice pour le péché. | Sacrifice and offering thou hast no delight in; Mine ears hast thou opened: Burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required. |
| 7 | Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, | Alors j'ai dit: Voici, je viens; il est écrit de moi dans le rouleau de ton livre. | Then said I, Lo, I am come; In the roll of the book it is written of me: |
| 8 | I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. | Mon Dieu, j'ai pris plaisir à faire ta volonté, et ta loi est au-dedans de mes entrailles. | I delight to do thy will, O my God; Yea, thy law is within my heart. |
| 9 | I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. | J'ai annoncé ta justice dans la grande assemblée; voici, je ne tiens pas mes lèvres fermées, tu le sais, ô Éternel! | I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly; Lo, I will not refrain my lips, O Jehovah, thou knowest. |
| 10 | 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. | Je n'ai point renfermé ta justice au-dedans de mon coeur; j'ai dit ta fidélité et ta délivrance; je n'ai point caché ta bonté ni ta vérité à 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 assembly. |
| 11 | Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. | Toi donc, ô Éternel, ne me ferme pas tes compassions! Que ta bonté et ta vérité me gardent continuellement! | Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Jehovah; Let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. |
| 12 | 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. | Car des maux sans nombre m'ont environné; mes iniquités m'ont atteint, et je ne puis les voir; elles surpassent en nombre les cheveux de ma tête, et le coeur me manque. | 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 | Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me. | Éternel, veuille me délivrer! Éternel, accours à mon aide! | Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me: Make haste to help me, O Jehovah. |
| 14 | 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. | Que tous ceux qui cherchent ma vie pour la ravir, soient confus et qu'ils rougissent! Que tous ceux qui prennent plaisir à mon mal, retournent en arrière et soient confus! | 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 | Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha. | Qu'ils soient stupéfaits dans leur confusion, ceux qui disent de moi: Ah! ah! | Let them be desolate by reason of their shame That say unto me, Aha, aha. |
| 16 | Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified. | Que tous ceux qui te cherchent s'égaient et se réjouissent en toi; que ceux qui aiment ta délivrance disent sans cesse: Magnifié soit l'Éternel! | Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: Let such as love thy salvation say continually, Jehovah be magnified. |
| 17 | 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. | Pour moi, je suis affligé et misérable; le Seigneur aura soin de moi. Tu es mon aide et mon libérateur. Mon Dieu, ne tarde point! | 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. |
