Psaumes 4
Nouvelle Edition de Genève – NEG1979
Sécurité dans la détresse
4 Au chef des chantres. Avec instruments à cordes. Psaume de David.
2 Quand je crie, réponds-moi, Dieu de ma justice!
Quand je suis dans la détresse, sauve-moi!
Aie pitié de moi, écoute ma prière!
3 Fils des hommes, jusqu’à quand ma gloire sera-t-elle outragée?
Jusqu’à quand aimerez-vous la vanité,
Chercherez-vous le mensonge? – Pause.
4 Sachez que l’Eternel s’est choisi un homme pieux;
L’Eternel entend, quand je crie à lui.
5 Tremblez, et ne péchez point[a];
Parlez en vos cœurs sur votre couche, puis taisez-vous. – Pause.
6 Offrez des sacrifices de justice,
Et confiez-vous en l’Eternel.
7 Plusieurs disent: Qui nous fera voir le bonheur?
Fais lever sur nous la lumière de ta face, ô Eternel!
8 Tu mets dans mon cœur plus de joie qu’ils n’en ont
Quand abondent leur froment et leur moût.
9 Je me couche et je m’endors en paix,
Car toi seul, ô Eternel! tu me donnes la sécurité dans ma demeure.

Psalm 4
King James Version
4 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.
3 But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.
6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.
