1. Psaume. Cantique pour la dédicace de la maison. De David. Je t'exalte, ô Eternel, car tu m'as relevé, Tu n'as pas voulu que mes ennemis se réjouissent à mon sujet.
2. Eternel, mon Dieu! J'ai crié à toi, et tu m'as guéri.
3. Eternel! tu as fait remonter mon âme du séjour des morts, Tu m'as fait revivre loin de ceux qui descendent dans la fosse.
4. Chantez à l'Eternel, vous qui l'aimez, Célébrez par vos louanges sa sainteté!
5. Car sa colère dure un instant, Mais sa grâce toute la vie; Le soir arrivent les pleurs, Et le matin l'allégresse.
6. Je disais dans ma sécurité: Je ne chancellerai jamais!
7. Eternel! par ta grâce tu avais affermi ma montagne... Tu cachas ta face, et je fus troublé.
8. Eternel! j'ai crié à toi, J'ai imploré l'Eternel:
9. Que gagnes-tu à verser mon sang, A me faire descendre dans la fosse? La poussière a-t-elle pour toi des louanges? Raconte-t-elle ta fidélité?
10. Ecoute, Eternel, aie pitié de moi! Eternel, secours-moi! -
11. Et tu as changé mes lamentations en allégresse, Tu as délié mon sac, et tu m'as ceint de joie,
12. Afin que mon coeur te chante et ne soit pas muet. Eternel, mon Dieu! je te louerai toujours.
1. <A Psalm. A Song at the blessing of the House. Of David.> I will give you praise and honour, O Lord, because through you I have been lifted up; you have not given my haters cause to be glad over me.
2. O Lord my God, I sent up my cry to you, and you have made me well.
3. O Lord, you have made my soul come again from the underworld: you have given me life and kept me from going down among the dead.
4. Make songs to the Lord, O you saints of his, and give praise to his holy name.
5. For his wrath is only for a minute; in his grace there is life; weeping may be for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
6. When things went well for me I said, I will never be moved.
7. Lord, by your grace you have kept my mountain strong: when your face was turned from me I was troubled.
8. My voice went up to you, O Lord; I made my prayer to the Lord.
9. What profit is there in my blood if I go down into the underworld? will the dust give you praise, or be a witness to your help?
10. Give ear to me, O Lord, and have mercy on me: Lord, be my helper.
11. By you my sorrow is turned into dancing; you have taken away my clothing of grief, and given me robes of joy;
12. So that my glory may make songs of praise to you and not be quiet. O Lord my God, I will give you praise for ever.
