Psalms 52 — parallel

52:1

Au chef des chantres. Cantique de David.

For the choirmaster. of David. After Doeg the Edomite went to Saul and told him, “David has gone to the house of Ahimelech.” Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man? The loving devotion of God endures all day long.

52:2

A l’occasion du rapport que Doëg, l’Édomite, vint faire à Saül, en lui disant: David s’est rendu dans la maison d’Achimélec.

Your tongue devises destruction like a sharpened razor, O worker of deceit.

52:3

Pourquoi te glorifies-tu de ta méchanceté, tyran?

You love evil more than good, falsehood more than speaking truth. Selah

52:4

Ta langue n’invente que malice,

You love every word that devours, O deceitful tongue.

52:5

Tu aimes le mal plutôt que le bien,

Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin; He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent; He will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah

52:6

Tu aimes toutes les paroles de destruction,

The righteous will see and fear; they will mock the evildoer, saying,

52:7

Aussi Dieu t’abattra pour toujours,

“Look at the man who did not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his wealth and strengthened himself by destruction.”

52:8

Les justes le verront, et auront de la crainte,

But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in the loving devotion of God forever and ever.

52:9

Voilà l’homme qui ne prenait point Dieu pour protecteur,

I will praise You forever, because You have done it. I will wait on Your name—for it is good—in the presence of Your saints.
