| 1 | Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. | Au maître de chant. Psaume de David. Lorsque Nathan le prophète vint le trouver après qu'il fut allé vers Bethsabée. Aie pitié de moi, ô Dieu, selon ta bonté ; selon ta grande miséricorde efface mes transgressions. | Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: According to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. |
| 2 | Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. | Lave-moi complètement de mon iniquité, et purifie-moi de mon péché. | Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. |
| 3 | For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. | Car je reconnais mes transgressions, et mon péché est constamment devant moi. | For I know my transgressions; And my sin is ever before me. |
| 4 | Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. | C'est contre toi seul que j'ai péché, j'ai fait ce qui est mal à tes yeux, afin que tu sois trouvé juste dans ta sentence, sans reproche dans ton jugement. | Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, And done that which is evil in thy sight; That thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, And be clear when thou judgest. |
| 5 | Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. | Voici que je suis né dans l'iniquité et ma mère m'a conçu dans le péché. | Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity; And in sin did my mother conceive me. |
| 6 | Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. | Voici que tu veux que la sincérité soit dans le coeur au dedans de moi fais-moi connaître la sagesse. | Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts; And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom. |
| 7 | Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. | Purifie-moi avec l'hysope, et je serai pur; lave-moi, et je serai plus blanc que la neige. | Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. |
| 8 | Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. | Annonce-moi la joie et l'allégresse, et les os que tu as brisés se réjouiront. | Make me to hear joy and gladness, That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. |
| 9 | Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. | Détourne ta face de mes péchés, efface toutes mes iniquités. | Hide thy face from my sins, And blot out all mine iniquities. |
| 10 | Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. | O Dieu, crée en moi un coeur pur; et renouvelle au dedans de moi un esprit ferme. | Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me. |
| 11 | Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. | Ne me rejette pas loin de ta face, ne me retire pas ton esprit saint. | Cast me not away from thy presence; And take not thy holy Spirit from me. |
| 12 | Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. | Rends-moi la joie de ton salut, et soutiens-moi par un esprit de bonne volonté. | Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; And uphold me with a willing spirit. |
| 13 | Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. | J'enseignerai tes voies à ceux qui les transgressent, et les pécheurs reviendront à toi. | Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; And sinners shall be converted unto thee. |
| 14 | Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. | O Dieu, Dieu de mon salut, délivre-moi du sang versé, et ma langue célébrera ta justice | Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation; [And] my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. |
| 15 | O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. | Seigneur, ouvre mes lèvres, et ma bouche publiera ta louange : | O Lord, open thou my lips; And my mouth shall show forth thy praise. |
| 16 | For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. | Car tu ne désires pas de sacrifices, - je t'en offrirais, - tu ne prends pas plaisir aux holocaustes. | For thou delightest not in sacrifice; else would I give it: Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering. |
| 17 | The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. | Les sacrifices de Dieu, c'est un esprit brisé; ô Dieu, tu ne dédaignes pas un coeur brisé et contrit. | The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: A broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. |
| 18 | Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. | Dans ta bonté, répands tes bienfaits sur Sion, bâtis les murs de Jérusalem! | Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: Build thou the walls of Jerusalem. |
| 19 | Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar. | Alors tu agréeras les sacrifices de justice, l'holocauste et le don parfait ; alors on offrira des taureaux sur ton autel. | Then will thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, In burnt-offering and in whole burnt-offering: Then will they offer bullocks upon thine altar. Psalm 52 For the Chief Musician. Maschil of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Abimelech. |
