1Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.2Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.3The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.4The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:5Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.6Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up:7Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.8And they that have passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
Bible Crampon 1923
1Cantique des montées. Heureux l’homme qui craint Yahweh, qui marche dans ses voies !2Tu te nourris alors du travail de tes mains ; tu es heureux et comblé de biens.3Ton épouse est comme une vigne féconde, dans l’intérieur de ta maison ; tes fils, comme de jeunes plants d’olivier, autour de ta table.4Voilà comment sera béni l’homme qui craint Yahweh.5Que Yahweh te bénisse de Sion ! Puisse-tu voir Jérusalem florissante tous les jours de ta vie !6Puisses-tu voir les enfants de tes enfants ! Que la paix soit sur Israël !
