| 1 | Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me. | Mictam de David, donné au maître chantre, pour le chanter sur Al-tasheth; touchant ce que Saül envoya des gens qui épièrent sa maison afin de le tuer. Mon Dieu! délivre-moi de mes ennemis, garantis-moi de ceux qui s'élèvent contre moi. | Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: Set me on high from them that rise up against me. |
| 2 | Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men. | Délivre-moi des ouvriers d'iniquité, et me garde des hommes sanguinaires. | Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from the bloodthirsty men. |
| 3 | For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD. | Car voici, ils m'ont dressé des embûches, et des gens robustes se sont assemblés contre moi, bien qu'il n'y ait point en moi de transgression ni de péché, ô Eternel! | For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; The mighty gather themselves together against me: Not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah. |
| 4 | They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold. | Ils courent çà et là, et se mettent en ordre, bien qu'il n'y ait point d'iniquité en moi; réveille-toi pour venir au-devant de moi, et regarde. | They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: Awake thou to help me, and behold. |
| 5 | Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah. | Toi donc, ô Eternel! Dieu des armées, Dieu d'Israël, réveille-toi pour visiter toutes les nations; ne fais point de grâce à pas un de ceux qui outragent perfidement; Sélah. | Even thou, O Jehovah God of hosts, the God of Israel, Arise to visit all the nations: Be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah |
| 6 | They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. | Ils vont et viennent sur le soir, ils font du bruit comme des chiens, ils font le tour de la ville. | They return at evening, they howl like a dog, And go round about the city. |
| 7 | Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear? | Voilà, ils s'évaporent en discours; il y a des épées en leurs lèvres; car, disent-ils, qui est-ce qui nous entend? | Behold, they belch out with their mouth; Swords are in their lips: For who, [say they], doth hear? |
| 8 | But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision. | Mais toi, Eternel! tu te riras d'eux, tu te moqueras de toutes les nations. | But thou, O Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; Thou wilt have all the nations in derision. |
| 9 | Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence. | A cause de sa force, je m'attends à toi; car Dieu est ma haute retraite. | [Because of] his strength I will give heed unto thee; For God is my high tower. |
| 10 | The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies. | Dieu qui me favorise me préviendra, Dieu me fera voir ce que je désire en ceux qui m'observent. | My God with his lovingkindness will meet me: God will let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies. |
| 11 | Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield. | Ne les tue pas, de peur que mon peuple ne l'oublie; fais-les errer par ta puissance, et les abats, Seigneur, qui es notre bouclier. | Slay them not, lest my people forget: Scatter them by thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield. |
| 12 | For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak. | Le péché de leur bouche est la parole de leurs lèvres; qu'ils soient donc pris par leur orgueil; car ils ne tiennent que des discours d'exécration et de mensonge. | [For] the sin of their mouth, [and] the words of their lips, Let them even be taken in their pride, And for cursing and lying which they speak. |
| 13 | Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah. | Consume-les avec fureur, consume-les de sorte qu'ils ne soient plus; et qu'on sache que Dieu domine en Jacob, et jusqu'aux bouts de la terre; Sélah. | Consume them in wrath, consume them, so that they shall be no more: And let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, Unto the ends of the earth. Selah |
| 14 | And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. | Qu'ils aillent donc et viennent sur le soir, qu'ils fassent du bruit comme des chiens, et qu'ils fassent le tour de la ville. | And at evening let them return, let them howl like a dog, And go round about the city. |
| 15 | Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied. | Qu'ils se donnent du mouvement pour trouver à manger, et qu'ils passent la nuit sans être rassasiés. | They shall wander up and down for food, And tarry all night if they be not satisfied. |
| 16 | But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. | Mais moi je chanterai ta force, et je louerai dès le matin à haute voix ta gratuité, parce que tu m'as été une haute retraite, et mon asile au jour que j'étais en détresse. | But I will sing of thy strength; Yea, I will sing aloud of thy lovingkindness in the morning: For thou hast been my high tower, And a refuge in the day of my distress. |
| 17 | Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy. | Ma Force! Je te psalmodierai; car Dieu est ma haute retraite, et le Dieu qui me favorise. | Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing praises: For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy. Psalm 60 For the Chief Musician; [set to] Shushan Eduth. Michtam of David, to teach; and when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand. |
