Psalms 16

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	JERUSALEM
1 A Prayer of David. Lord, listen to my justice, attend to my supplication. Pay attention to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips.	1 A mi-voix. De David. Garde-moi, ô Dieu, mon refuge est en toi.
2 Let my judgment proceed from your presence. Let your eyes behold fairness.	2 J'ai dit à Yahvé: C'est toi mon Seigneur, mon bonheur n'est en aucun
3 You have tested my heart and visited it by night. You have examined me by fire, and iniquity has not been found in me.	3 de ces démons de la terre. Ceux-là en imposent à tous ceux qui les aiment,
4 Therefore, may my mouth not speak the works of men. I have kept to difficult ways because of the words of your lips.	4 leurs idoles foisonnent, on court à leur suite. Verser leurs libations de sang? Jamais! Faire monterleurs noms sur mes lèvres? Jamais!
5 Perfect my steps in your paths, so that my footsteps may not be disturbed.	5 Yahvé, ma part d'héritage et ma coupe, c'est toi qui garantis mon lot;
6 I have cried out because you, O God, have listened to me. Incline your ear to me and heed my words.	6 le cordeau me marque un enclos de délices, et l'héritage est pour moi magnifique.
7 Make your mercies wonderful, for you save those who hope in you.	7 Je bénis Yahvé qui s'est fait mon conseil, et même la nuit, mon coeur m'instruit.
8 From those who resist your right hand, preserve me like the pupil of your eye. Protect me under the shadow of your wings,	8 J'ai mis Yahvé devant moi sans relâche; puisqu'il est à ma droite, je ne bronche pas.
9 from the face of the impious who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul.	9 Aussi, mon coeur exulte, mes entrailles jubilent, et ma chair reposera en sûreté;
10 They have concealed their fatness; their mouth has been speaking arrogantly.	10 car tu ne peux abandonner mon âme au shéol, tu ne peux laisser ton ami voir la fosse.
11 They have cast me out, and now they have surrounded me. They have cast their eyes down to the earth.	11 Tu m'apprendras le chemin de vie, devant ta face, plénitude de joie, en ta droite, délices éternelles.
12 They have taken me, like a lion ready for the prey, and like a young lion dwelling in hiding.
13 Rise up, O Lord, arrive before him and displace him. Deliver my soul from the impious one: your spear from the enemies of your hand.
14 Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life. Their gut has been filled from your hidden stores. They have been filled with sons, and they have bequeathed to their little ones the remainder.
15 But as for me, I will appear before your sight in justice. I will be satisfied when your glory appears.
