Livre des Psaumes 64

Bible de Jérusalem	Douai-Rheims
¹ Du maître de chant. Psaume de David.	¹ Unto the end, a psalm for David.
² Ecoute, ô Dieu, la voix de ma plainte, contre la peur de l'ennemi garde ma vie;	² Hear, O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee : deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy.
³ à la bande des méchants cache-moi, à la meute des ouvriers de mal!	³ Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.
⁴ Eux qui aiguisent leur langue comme une épée, ils ajustent leur flèche, parole amère,	⁴ For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; they have bent their bow a bitter thing,
⁵ pour tirer en cachette sur l'innocent, ils tirent soudain et ne craignent rien.	⁵ to shoot in secret the undefiled.
⁶ Ils s'encouragent dans leur méchante besogne, ils calculent pour tendre des pièges, ils disent: "Quiles verra	⁶ They will shoot at him on a sudden, and will not fear: they are resolute in wickedness. They have talked of hiding snares; they have said: Who shall see them?
⁷ et scrutera nos secrets?" Il les scrute, celui qui scrute le fond de l'homme et le coeur profond.	⁷ They have searched after iniquities: they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart:
⁸ Dieu a tiré une flèche, soudaines ont été leurs blessures;	⁸ and God shall be exalted. The arrows of children are their wounds:
⁹ il les fit choir à cause de leur langue, tous ceux qui les voient hochent la tête.	⁹ and their tongues against them are made weak. All that saw them were troubled;
¹⁰ Tout homme alors craindra, il publiera l'oeuvre de Dieu, et son action, il la comprendra.	¹⁰ and every man was afraid. And they declared the works of God: and understood his doings.
¹¹ Le juste aura sa joie en Yahvé et son refuge en lui; ils s'en loueront, tous les coeurs droits.	¹¹ The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
