World English Bible (with Deuterocanon)
Blessed is one who does what is right at all times. 4 Remember me, Yahweh, with the favor that you show to your people. Visit me with your salvation, 5 that I may see the prosperity of your chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance. 6 We have sinned with our fathers.
We have committed iniquity.
We have done wickedly. 7 Our fathers didn’t understand your wonders in Egypt. They didn’t remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea. 8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power known. 9 He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up;
so he led them through the depths, as through a desert. 10 He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. 11 The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left. 12 Then they believed his words. They sang his praise. 13 They soon forgot his works. They didn’t wait for his counsel, 14 but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland. 15 He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul. 16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, Yahweh’s saint. 17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram. 18 A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked. 19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped a molten image. 20 Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that eats grass. 21 They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt, 22 wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by the Red Sea. 23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn’t destroy them. 24 Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They didn’t believe his word, 25 but murmured in their tents, and didn’t listen to Yahweh’s voice. 26 Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness, 27 that he would overthrow their offspring among the nations, and scatter them in the lands. 28 They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. 29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them. 30 Then Phinehas stood up and executed judgment, so the plague was stopped. 31 That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come. 32 They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes; 33 because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke rashly with his lips. 34 They didn’t destroy the peoples, as Yahweh commanded them, 35 but mixed themselves with the nations, and learned their works. 36 They served their idols, which became a snare to them. 37 Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons. 38 They shed innocent blood,
even the blood of their sons and of their daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land was polluted with blood. 39 Thus they were defiled with their works, and prostituted themselves in their deeds. 40 Therefore Yahweh burned with anger against his people. He abhorred his inheritance. 41 He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated them ruled over them. 42 Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into subjection under their hand. 43 He rescued them many times, but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity. 44 Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry. 45 He remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses. 46 He made them also to be pitied by all those who carried them captive. 47 Save us, Yahweh, our God, gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise! 48 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting!
Let all the people say, “Amen.” Praise Yah!
Bible Crampon 1923
ils ne se souvinrent pas de la multitude de tes grâces,
ils se sont révoltés à la mer, à la mer Rouge. 8 Il les sauva pourtant à cause de son nom,
pour faire éclater sa puissance. 9 Il menaça la mer Rouge, et elle se dessécha ;
et il les fit marcher à travers l’abîme comme dans un désert. 10 Il les sauva de la main de celui qui les haïssait,
il les délivra de la main de l’oppresseur. 11 Les flots couvrirent leurs adversaires,
pas un seul n’échappa. 12 Ils crurent alors à ses paroles,
ils chantèrent ses louanges. 13 Mais ils oublièrent bientôt ses œuvres,
ils n’attendirent pas qu’il exécutât ses desseins. 14 Ils furent pris de convoitise dans le désert,
et ils tentèrent Dieu dans la solitude. 15 Il leur accorda ce qu’ils demandaient,
mais il les frappa de consomption. 16 Puis ils furent jaloux de Moïse dans le camp,
et d’Aaron, le saint de Yahweh. 17 La terre s’ouvrit et engloutit Dathan,
et elle se referma sur la troupe d’Abiron ; 18 Le feu dévora leur troupe,
la flamme consuma les méchants. 19 Ils firent un veau au mont Horeb,
ils se prosternèrent devant une image de métal fondu ; 20 Ils échangèrent leur gloire
contre la figure d’un bœuf qui mange l’herbe. 21 Ils oublièrent Dieu, leur sauveur,
qui avait fait de grandes choses en Égypte, 22 des miracles dans le pays de Cham,
des prodiges à la mer Rouge. 23 Il parlait de les exterminer,
si Moïse, son élu,
ne se fût tenu sur la brèche devant lui,
pour empêcher sa colère de les détruire. 24 Ils dédaignèrent la terre de délices,
ils ne crurent pas à la parole de Yahweh ; 25 ils murmurèrent dans leurs tentes,
et n’obéirent pas à sa voix. 26 Alors il leva la main contre eux,
jurant de les faire périr dans le désert, 27 de faire périr leur race parmi les nations,
et de les disperser en d’autres contrées. 28 Ils s’attachèrent à Béelphégor
et mangèrent des victimes offertes aux morts. 29 Ils irritèrent Yahweh par leurs actions,
et un fléau fit irruption parmi eux. 30 Phinées se leva et donna satisfaction,
et le fléau fut arrêté. 31 Cette action fut imputée à justice,
d’âge en âge, à jamais. 32 Ils irritèrent Yahweh aux eaux de Mériba,
et Moïse eut à souffrir à cause d’eux ; 33 car ils aigrirent son esprit,
et il prononça des paroles inconsidérées. 34 Ils n’exterminèrent point les peuples
que Yahweh leur avait ordonné de détruire. 35 Ils se mêlèrent aux nations,
et ils apprirent leurs œuvres. 36 Ils servirent leurs idoles,
qui furent pour eux un piège. 37 Ils immolèrent leurs fils
et leurs filles aux démons. 38 Ils versèrent le sang innocent,
le sang de leurs fils et de leurs filles,
qu’ils sacrifiaient aux idoles de Chanaan ;
et le pays fut profané par des meurtres. 39 Ils se souillèrent par leurs œuvres,
ils se prostituèrent par leurs actions. 40 La colère de Yahweh s’alluma contre son peuple,
et il prit en horreur son héritage. 41 Il les livra entre les mains des nations,
ceux qui les haïssaient dominèrent sur eux. 42 Leurs ennemis les opprimèrent,
et ils furent humiliés sous leur main. 43 Bien des fois il les délivra,
mais ils furent rebelles dans leurs desseins,
et se perdirent par leurs iniquités. 44 Néanmoins, il regarda leur détresse,
lorsqu’il entendit leurs supplications. 45 Il se souvint en leur faveur de son alliance,
il eut pitié d’eux selon sa grande bonté, 46 et il en fit l’objet de ses miséricordes,
devant tous ceux qui les tenaient captifs. 47 Sauve-nous Yahweh, notre Dieu,
et rassemble-nous du milieu des nations,
afin que nous célébrions ton saint nom,
et que nous mettions notre gloire à te louer. 48 Béni soit Yahweh, Dieu d’Israël,
d’éternité en éternité !
Et que tout le peuple dise :
Amen ! Alleluia !
