1. Psaume de David. A l'occasion de sa fuite devant Absalom, son fils. O Eternel, que mes ennemis sont nombreux! Quelle multitude se lève contre moi!
2. Combien qui disent à mon sujet: Plus de salut pour lui auprès de Dieu! -Pause.
3. Mais toi, ô Eternel! tu es mon bouclier, Tu es ma gloire, et tu relèves ma tête.
4. De ma voix je crie à l'Eternel, Et il me répond de sa montagne sainte. -Pause.
5. Je me couche, et je m'endors; Je me réveille, car l'Eternel est mon soutien.
6. Je ne crains pas les myriades de peuples Qui m'assiègent de toutes parts.
7. Lève-toi, Eternel! sauve-moi, mon Dieu! Car tu frappes à la joue tous mes ennemis, Tu brises les dents des méchants.
8. Le salut est auprès de l'Eternel: Que ta bénédiction soit sur ton peuple! -Pause.
1. <A Psalm. Of David. When he went in flight from Absalom his son.> Lord, how greatly are they increased who make attacks on me! in great numbers they come against me.
2. Unnumbered are those who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah.)
3. But your strength, O Lord, is round me, you are my glory and the lifter up of my head.
4. I send up a cry to the Lord with my voice, and he gives me an answer from his holy hill. (Selah.)
5. I took my rest in sleep, and then again I was awake; for the Lord was my support.
6. I will have no fear, though ten thousand have come round me, putting themselves against me.
7. Come to me, Lord; keep me safe, O my God; for you have given all my haters blows on their face-bones; the teeth of the evil-doers have been broken by you.
8. Salvation comes from the Lord; your blessing is on your people. (Selah.)
