Tu es mon seul abri
142 Méditation[a] de David. Prière qu’il prononça quand il était dans la caverne[b].
2 A pleine voix, ╵je crie vers l’Eternel.
A pleine voix, ╵je supplie l’Eternel,
3 et, devant lui, ╵je me répands en plaintes.
En sa présence, ╵j’expose ma détresse.
4 Quand mon esprit ╵est abattu,
toi tu connais ╵par quel chemin je passe.
Sur la route où je marche,
ils m’ont tendu un piège.
5 Regarde à droite[c] et vois :
il n’y a plus personne ╵qui veuille me connaître !
Je ne sais plus ╵où chercher un refuge
et nul ne veut ╵s’inquiéter de ma vie.
6 O Eternel, ╵je fais appel à toi,
et je m’écrie : ╵« Tu es mon seul abri !
Tu es mon bien ╵au pays des vivants ! »
7 Sois attentif ╵à mes supplications
car j’ai touché ╵le fond de la misère.
Délivre-moi ╵de mes persécuteurs !
Ils sont bien plus puissants que moi.
8 Libère-moi ╵de ma prison
pour que je puisse te louer !
Autour de moi, ╵les justes feront cercle
quand tu m’auras ╵comblé de tes bienfaits.
Psalm 142
King James Version
Psalm 142
King James Version
142 I cried unto the Lord with my voice; with my voice unto the Lord did I make my supplication.
2 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.
3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
5 I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
Psalm 142
New King James Version
Psalm 142
New King James Version
A Plea for Relief from Persecutors
A (A)Contemplation[a] of David. A Prayer (B)when he was in the cave.
142 I cry out to the Lord with my voice;
With my voice to the Lord I make my supplication.
2 I pour out my complaint before Him;
I declare before Him my trouble.
3 When my spirit [b]was (C)overwhelmed within me,
Then You knew my path.
In the way in which I walk
They have secretly (D)set a snare for me.
4 Look on my right hand and see,
For there is no one who acknowledges me;
Refuge has failed me;
No one cares for my soul.
5 I cried out to You, O Lord:
I said, “You are my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.
6 [c]Attend to my cry,
For I am brought very low;
Deliver me from my persecutors,
For they are stronger than I.
7 Bring my soul out of prison,
That I may (E)praise Your name;
The righteous shall surround me,
For You shall deal bountifully with me.”
