Psaume 64

La Bible du Semeur

de Biblica

Protège-moi !

1 Au chef de chœur. Psaume de David. 

2 O Dieu, écoute ╵ma voix plaintive, protège-moi ╵d’un ennemi ╵qui me fait peur, 

3 et mets-moi à l’abri ╵des complots des méchants, de la troupe tumultueuse ╵de malfaisants. 

4 Comme une épée, ╵leur langue est aiguisée et ils décochent ╵leurs propos venimeux ╵comme des flèches! 

5 Ils tirent depuis leur cachette ╵sur l’innocent, ils le visent soudain, ╵sans éprouver ╵la moindre crainte. 

6 Ils s’enhardissent ╵pour de mauvais desseins, ils se concertent ╵pour bien cacher leurs pièges, en se disant: ╵« Qui s’en apercevra? » 

7 Chacun combine ╵des mauvais coups. ╵« Nous voici prêts, notre plan est au point! » Oui, la pensée intime, ╵le cœur de l’homme ╵est un gouffre profond. 

8 Mais Dieu leur lance ╵soudain des flèches. Ils sont frappés: 

9 leur propre langue ╵cause leur chute. En les voyant, ╵chacun secoue la tête, (Ps 22:8) 

10 et tous les hommes ╵sont pris de crainte et ils proclament ╵l’œuvre de Dieu en tirant la leçon ╵de ses actions. 

11 Qu’en l’Eternel, ╵le juste trouve ╵sa joie et son refuge, et tous les hommes au cœur droit ╵s’en féliciteront.

Psaume 64

English Standard Version

de Crossway

Hide Me from the Wicked

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1 Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy. (Ps 55:2) 

2 Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the throng of evildoers, (Ps 55:14) 

3 who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows, (Ps 11:2; Ps 57:4) 

4 shooting from ambush at the blameless, shooting at him suddenly and without fear. (Ps 10:8; Ps 55:19) 

5 They hold fast to their evil purpose; they talk of laying snares secretly, thinking, “Who can see them?” (Jb 22:13; Ps 140:5; Jr 23:14; Ez 13:22) 

6 They search out injustice, saying, “We have accomplished a diligent search.” For the inward mind and heart of a man are deep. (Ps 49:11) 

7 But God shoots his arrow at them; they are wounded suddenly. (Ps 7:12; Ps 7:13; Ps 58:7) 

8 They are brought to ruin, with their own tongues turned against them; all who see them will wag their heads. (Ps 22:7; Ps 40:3; Pr 12:13; Pr 18:7; Jr 18:16; Jr 48:27) 

9 Then all mankind fears; they tell what God has brought about and ponder what he has done. (Ps 8:1; Jr 50:28; Jr 51:10) 

10 Let the righteous one rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in him! Let all the upright in heart exult! (Jb 22:19; Ps 7:10; Ps 11:1; Ps 32:11)
