Psalm 64 | English Standard Version

Hide Me from the Wicked

1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy. 2 Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the throng of evildoers, 3 who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows, 4 shooting from ambush at the blameless, shooting at him suddenly and without fear. 5 They hold fast to their evil purpose; they talk of laying snares secretly, thinking, “Who can see them?” 6 They search out injustice, saying, “We have accomplished a diligent search.” For the inward mind and heart of a man are deep. 7 But God shoots his arrow at them; they are wounded suddenly. 8 They are brought to ruin, with their own tongues turned against them; all who see them will wag their heads. 9 Then all mankind fears; they tell what God has brought about and ponder what he has done. 10 Let the righteous one rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in him! Let all the upright in heart exult!

Punition des méchants

1 Au chef de chœur. Psaume de David. 2 O Dieu, écoute-moi quand je gémis, protège ma vie contre l'ennemi que je redoute! 3 Mets-moi à l'abri des complots des méchants, de la troupe bruyante des hommes injustes! 4 Ils aiguisent leur langue comme une épée, ils lancent leurs paroles amères comme des flèches 5 pour tirer en cachette sur celui qui est intègre. Soudain ils tirent sur lui, sans éprouver la moindre crainte. 6 Ils se fortifient dans leur méchanceté, ils se concertent pour tendre des pièges, ils disent: «Qui les verra?» 7 Ils combinent des crimes: «Nous sommes prêts, le plan est au point!» La pensée intime, le cœur, de chacun est un abîme. 8 Dieu lance ses flèches contre eux: soudain les voilà frappés. 9 Leur langue a causé leur chute; tous ceux qui les voient hochent la tête. 10 Tous les hommes sont saisis de crainte; ils proclament ce que Dieu fait, ils prêtent attention à son œuvre. 11 Le juste se réjouit en l'Eternel et se réfugie en lui; tous ceux dont le cœur est droit s'en félicitent.
