Psalms 21

Douai-Rheims	Bible de Jérusalem
¹ Unto the end. A psalm for David.	¹ Du maître de chant. Psaume de David.
² In thy strength, O Lord, the king shall joy; and in thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly.	² En ta force, Yahvé, le roi se réjouit; combien ton salut le comble d'allégresse!
³ Thou hast given him his heart's desire: end hast not withholden from him the will of his lips.	³ Tu lui as accordé le désir de son coeur, tu n'as point refusé le souhait de ses lèvres.
⁴ For thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.	⁴ Car tu l'as prévenu de bénédictions de choix, tu as mis sur sa tête une couronne d'or fin;
⁵ He asked life of thee: and thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever.	⁵ tu lui as accordé la vie qu'il demandait, longueur de jours, encore et à jamais.
⁶ His glory is great in thy salvation: glory and great beauty shalt thou lay upon him.	⁶ Grande gloire lui fait ton salut, tu as mis sur lui le faste et l'éclat;
⁷ For thou shalt give him to be a blessing for ever and ever: thou shalt make him joyful in gladness with thy countenance.	⁷ oui, tu l'établis en bénédiction pour toujours, tu le réjouis de bonheur près de ta face;
⁸ For the king hopeth in the Lord: and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.	⁸ oui, le roi se confie en Yahvé, la grâce du Très-Haut le garde du faux pas.
⁹ Let thy hand be found by all thy enemies: let thy right hand find out all them that hate thee.	⁹ Ta main trouvera tous tes adversaires, ta droite trouvera tes ennemis;
¹⁰ Thou shalt make them as an oven of fire, in the time of thy anger: the Lord shall trouble them in his wrath, and fire shall devour them.	¹⁰ tu feras d'eux une fournaise au jour de ta face, Yahvé les engloutira dans sa colère, le feu lesavalera;
¹¹ Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth: and their seed from among the children of men.	¹¹ leur fruit, tu l'ôteras de la terre, leur semence, d'entre les fils d'Adam.
¹² For they have intended evils against thee: they have devised counsels which they have not been able to establish.	¹² Ils ont poussé sur toi le malheur, mûri un plan: ils ne pourront rien.
¹³ For thou shalt make them turn their back: in thy remnants thou shalt prepare their face.	¹³ Oui, tu leur feras tourner le dos, sur eux tu ajusteras ton arc.
¹⁴ Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy own strength: we will sing and praise thy power.	¹⁴ Lève-toi, Yahvé, dans ta force! Nous chanterons, nous jouerons pour ta vaillance.
