1 Au maître de chant. Psaume de David.	1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. A Canticle of Jeremiah and Ezekiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go into exile.
2 Entends ma voix, mon Dieu, tu vois que je me plains, protège ma vie des menaces de l’ennemi.	2 O God, a hymn adorns you in Zion, and a vow will be repaid to you in Jerusalem.
3 Fais que j’échappe au parti des méchants, aux manœuvres des malfaisants.	3 Hear my prayer: all flesh will come to you.
4 Ils ont fait de leur langue une épée aiguisée, ils ont leurs flèches: des paroles menaçantes	4 Words of iniquity have prevailed over us. And you will pardon our impieties.
5 qu’ils décochent soudain sur les gens honnêtes. Ils tirent à l’improviste, sans prendre de risques.	5 Blessed is he whom you have chosen and taken up. He will dwell in your courts. We will be filled with the good things of your house. Holy is your temple:
6 Ils s’encouragent à faire le mal, ils voient la manière de dissimuler le piège, et ils disent: “Qui verra,	6 wonderful in equity. Hear us, O God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of a sea far away.
7 qui percera nos secrets?” Celui qui scrute le fond de l’homme les mettra à jour.	7 You prepare the mountains in your virtue, wrapped with power.
8 Voici que Dieu leur décoche sa flèche et d’un coup on les voit blessés.	8 You stir up the depths of the sea, the noise of its waves. The nations will be troubled,
9 Leurs propres paroles les ont fait tomber, et ceux qui les voient n’en ont pas pitié.	9 and those who dwell at the limits will be afraid, before your signs. You will make the passing of morning and evening enjoyable.
10 Alors chacun découvre la crainte et dit hautement que c’est l’œuvre de Dieu: on comprend son action.	10 You have visited the earth, and you have saturated it. You have enriched it in so many ways. The river of God has been filled with water. You have prepared their food. For thus is its preparation.
11 Le juste se réjouira dans le Seigneur et se confiera en lui; ceux qui ont le cœur droit en tireront fierté.	11 Drench its streams, multiply its fruits; it will spring up and rejoice in its showers.
	12 You will bless the crown of the year with your kindness, and your fields will be filled with abundance.
	13 The beauty of the desert will fatten, and the hills will be wrapped with exultation.
	14 The rams of the sheep have been clothed, and the valleys will abound with grain. They will cry out; yes, they will even utter a hymn.
