Psalms 35

DOUAI-RHEIMS	JERUSALEM
1 For David himself. Judge thou, O Lord, them that wrong me : overthrow them that fight against me.	1 De David. Accuse, Yahvé, mes accusateurs, assaille mes assaillants;
2 Take hold of arms and shield : and rise up to help me.	2 prends armure et bouclier et te lève à mon aide;
3 Bring out the sword, and shut up the way against them that persecute me : say to my soul : I am thy salvation.	3 brandis la lance et la pique contre mes poursuivants. Dis à mon âme: "C'est moi ton salut."
4 Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded that devise against me.	4 Honte et déshonneur sur ceux-là qui cherchent mon âme! Arrière! qu'ils reculent confondus, ceuxqui ruminent mon malheur!
5 Let them become as dust before the wind : and let the angel of the Lord straiten them.	5 Qu'ils soient de la bale au vent, l'ange de Yahvé les poussant,
6 Let their way become dark and slippery; and let the angel of the Lord pursue them.	6 que leur chemin soit ténèbre et glissade, l'ange de Yahvé les poursuivant!
7 For without cause they have hidden their net for me unto destruction : without cause they have upbraided my soul.	7 Sans raison ils m'ont tendu leur filet, creusé pour moi une fosse,
8 Let the snare which he knoweth not come upon him : and let the net which he hath hidden catch him : and let the net which he hath hidden catch him : and into that very snare let them fall.	8 la ruine vient sur eux sans qu'ils le sachent; le filet qu'ils ont tendu les prendra, dans la fosse ilstomberont.
9 But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; and shall be delighted in his salvation.	9 Et mon âme exultera en Yahvé, jubilera en son salut.
10 All my bones shall say : Lord, who is like to thee? Who deliverest the poor from the hand of them that are stronger than he; the needy and the poor from them that strip him.	10 Tous mes os diront: Yahvé, qui est comme toi pour délivrer le petit du plus fort, le pauvre duspoliateur?
11 Unjust witnesses rising up have asked me things I knew not.	11 Des témoins de mensonge se lèvent, que je ne connais pas. On me questionne,
12 They repaid me evil for good : to the depriving me of my soul.	12 on me rend le mal pour le bien, ma vie devient stérile.
13 But as for me, when they were troublesome to me, I was clothed with haircloth. I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer shall be turned into my bosom.	13 Et moi, pendant leurs maladies, vêtu d'un sac, je m'humiliais par le jeûne, ma prière revenant dansmon sein,
14 As a neighbour and as an own brother, so did I please : as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled.	14 comme pour un ami, pour un frère, j'allais çà et là; comme en deuil d'une mère, assombri je mecourbais.
15 But they rejoiced against me, and came together : scourges were gathered together upon me, and I knew not.	15 Ils se rient de ma chute, ils s'attroupent, ils s'attroupent contre moi; des étrangers, sans que je lesache, déchirent sans répit;
16 They were separated, and repented not : they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn : they gnashed upon me with their teeth.	16 si je tombe, ils m'encerclent, ils grincent des dents contre moi.
17 Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? rescue thou soul from their malice : my only one from the lions.	17 Seigneur, combien de temps verras-tu cela? Soustrais mon âme à leurs ravages, aux lionceauxmon unique.
18 I will give thanks to thee in a great church; I will praise thee in a strong people.	18 Je rendrai grâce dans la grande assemblée, dans un peuple nombreux je te louerai.
19 Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me : who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes.	19 Que ne puissent rire de moi ceux qui m'en veulent à tort, ni se faire des clins d'oeil ceux qui mehaïssent sans cause!
20 For they spoke indeed peaceably to me; and speaking in the anger of the earth they devised guile.	20 Ce n'est point de la paix qu'ils parlent aux paisibles de la terre; ils ruminent de perfides paroles,
21 And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said : Well done, well done, our eyes have seen it.	21 la bouche large ouverte contre moi; ils disent: Ha! ha! notre oeil a vu!
22 Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not thou silent : O Lord, depart not from me.	22 Tu as vu, Yahvé, ne te tais plus, Seigneur, ne sois pas loin de moi;
23 Arise, and be attentive to my judgment : to my cause, my God, and my Lord.	23 éveille-toi, lève-toi, pour mon droit, Seigneur mon Dieu, pour ma cause;
24 Judge me, O Lord my God according to thy justice, and let them not rejoice over me.	24 juge-moi selon ta justice, Yahvé mon Dieu, qu'ils ne se rient de moi!
25 Let them not say in their hearts : It is well, it is well, to our mind : neither let them say : We have swallowed him up.	25 Qu'ils ne disent en leur coeur: Ha! ma foi! qu'ils ne disent: Nous l'avons englouti!
26 Let them blush : and be ashamed together, who rejoice at my evils. Let them be clothed with confusion and shame, who speak great things against me.	26 Honte et déshonneur ensemble sur ceux qui rient de mon malheur; que honte et confusion lescouvrent, ceux qui se grandissent à mes dépens!
27 Let them rejoice and be glad, who are well pleased with my justice, and let them say always : The Lord be magnified, who delights in the peace of his servant.	27 Rires et cris de joie pour ceux-là que réjouit ma justice, ceux-là, qu'ils disent constamment:"Grand est Yahvé que réjouit la paix de son serviteur! "
28 Any my tongue shall meditate thy justice, thy praise all the day long.	28 Et ma langue redira ta justice, tout le jour, ta louange.
