Psaumes 140
Louis Segond
140 (140:1) Au chef des chantres. Psaume de David. (140:2) Éternel, délivre-moi des hommes méchants! Préserve-moi des hommes violents.
2 (140:3) Qui méditent de mauvais desseins dans leur coeur, Et sont toujours prêts à faire la guerre!
3 (140:4) Ils aiguisent leur langue comme un serpent, Ils ont sous leur lèvres un venin d'aspic. Pause.
4 (140:5) Éternel, garantis-moi des mains du méchant! Préserve-moi des hommes violents, Qui méditent de me faire tomber!
5 (140:6) Des orgueilleux me tendent un piège et des filets, Ils placent des rets le long du chemin, Ils me dressent des embûches. Pause.
6 (140:7) Je dis à l'Éternel: Tu es mon Dieu! Éternel, prête l'oreille à la voix de mes supplications!
7 (140:8) Éternel, Seigneur, force de mon salut! Tu couvres ma tête au jour du combat.
8 (140:9) Éternel, n'accomplis pas les désirs du méchant, Ne laisse pas réussir ses projets, de peur qu'il ne s'en glorifie! Pause.
9 (140:10) Que sur la tête de ceux qui m'environnent Retombe l'iniquité de leurs lèvres!
10 (140:11) Que des charbons ardents soient jetés sur eux! Qu'il les précipite dans le feu, Dans des abîmes, d'où ils ne se relèvent plus!
11 (140:12) L'homme dont la langue est fausse ne s'affermit pas sur la terre; Et l'homme violent, le malheur l'entraîne à sa perte.
12 (140:13) Je sais que l'Éternel fait droit au misérable, Justice aux indigents.
13 (140:14) Oui, les justes célébreront ton nom, Les hommes droits habiteront devant ta face.

Prayer for Deliverance from Evil Men
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
140 Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men;
Preserve me from violent men,
2 Who plan evil things in their hearts;
(A)They continually gather together for war.
3 They sharpen their tongues like a serpent;
The (B)poison of asps is under their lips. Selah
4 (C)Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
Preserve me from violent men,
Who have purposed to make my steps stumble.
5 The proud have hidden a (D)snare for me, and cords;
They have spread a net by the wayside;
They have set traps for me. Selah
6 I said to the Lord: “You are my God;
Hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord.
7 O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation,
You have [a]covered my head in the day of battle.
8 Do not grant, O Lord, the desires of the wicked;
Do not further his wicked scheme,
(E)Lest they be exalted. Selah
9 “As for the head of those who surround me,
Let the evil of their lips cover them;
10 (F)Let burning coals fall upon them;
Let them be cast into the fire,
Into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
11 Let not a slanderer be established in the earth;
Let evil hunt the violent man to overthrow him.”
12 I know that the Lord will (G)maintain
The cause of the afflicted,
And justice for the poor.
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks to Your name;
The upright shall dwell in Your presence.
