| 1 | The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. | Au maître de chant. Sur le ton plaintif. Cantique de David. L'insensé dit dans son coeur : "il n'y a pas de Dieu ! "Ils sont corrompus, ils commettent des crimes abominables ; il n'en est aucun qui fasse le bien. | The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity; There is none that doeth good. |
| 2 | God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. | Dieu, du haut des cieux, regarde les fils de l'homme, pour voir s'il se trouve quelqu'un d'intelligent, quelqu'un qui cherche Dieu. | God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God. |
| 3 | Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. | Tous sont égarés, tous sont pervertis ; il n'en est aucun qui fasse le bien, pas même un seul. | Every one of them is gone back; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one. |
| 4 | Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God. | N'ont-ils pas de connaissance ceux qui commettent l'iniquité ? Ils dévorent mon peuple comme ils mangent du pain, ils n'invoquent point Dieu ! | Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people [as] they eat bread, And call not upon God? |
| 5 | There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them. | Ils trembleront tout à coup d'épouvante, sans qu'il y ait sujet d'épouvante ; car Dieu a dispersé les os de celui qui campait contre toi ; tu les as confondus, car Dieu les a rejetés. | There were they in great fear, where no fear was; For God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: Thou hast put them to shame, because of God hath rejected them. |
| 6 | Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. | Oh ! puisse venir de Sion la délivrance d'Israël ! Quand Dieu ramènera les captifs de son peuple, Jacob se réjouira, Israël sera dans l'allégresse. | Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad. Psalm 54 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David; when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? |
