| 2 | How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out. | Tu as de ta main chassé les nations, et tu as affermi nos pères; tu as affligé les peuples, et tu as fait prospérer nos pères. | Thou didst drive out the nations with thy hand; But them thou didst plant: Thou didst afflict the peoples; But them thou didst spread abroad. |
| 3 | For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them. | Car ce n'est point par leur épée qu'ils ont conquis le pays, et ce n'a point été leur bras, qui les a délivrés; mais ta droite, et ton bras, et la lumière de ta face; parce que tu les affectionnais. | For they gat not the land in possession by their own sword, Neither did their own arm save them; But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, Because thou wast favorable unto them. |

| 14 | Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people. | Tu nous as mis en dicton parmi les nations, et en hochement de tête parmi les peuples. | Thou makest us a byword among the nations, A shaking of the head among the peoples. |
| 15 | My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, | Ma confusion est tout le jour devant moi, et la honte de ma face m'a tout couvert. | All the day long is my dishonor before me, And the shame of my face hath covered me, |
| 16 | For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger. | A cause des discours de celui qui nous fait des reproches, et qui nous injurie, et à cause de l'ennemi et du vindicatif. | For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth, By reason of the enemy and the avenger. |

| 19 | Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. | Quoique tu nous aies froissés parmi des dragons, et couverts de l'ombre de la mort. | That thou hast sore broken us in the place of jackals, And covered us with the shadow of death. |
| 20 | If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; | Si nous eussions oublié le Nom de notre Dieu, et que nous eussions étendu nos mains vers un dieu étranger, | If we have forgotten the name of our God, Or spread forth our hands to a strange god; |
| 21 | Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. | Dieu ne s'en enquerrait-il point? vu que c'est lui qui connaît les secrets du coeur. | Will not God search this out? For he knoweth the secrets of the heart. |
| 22 | Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. | Mais nous sommes tous les jours mis à mort pour l'amour de toi, et nous sommes regardés comme des brebis de la boucherie. | Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. |
