| 1 | En ce jour, on chantera ce cantique dans le pays de Juda : Nous avons une ville forte ; Il nous donne le salut pour murailles et pour rempart. | In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks. | In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: we have a strong city; salvation will he appoint for walls and bulwarks. | In quel giorno si canterà questo cantico nel paese di Giuda: Noi abbiamo una città forte; Dio vi ha posto la salvezza per mura e per bastioni. |
| 2 | Ouvrez les portes, Laissez entrer la nation juste et fidèle. | Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. | Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth faith may enter in. | Aprite le porte ed entri la nazione giusta, che mantiene la fedeltà. |
| 3 | A celui qui est ferme dans ses sentiments Tu assures la paix, la paix, Parce qu'il se confie en toi. | Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. | Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee]; because he trusteth in thee. | Alla mente che riposa in te tu conservi una pace perfetta, perché confida in te. |
| 4 | Confiez-vous en l'Éternel à perpétuité, Car l'Éternel, l'Éternel est le rocher des siècles. | Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength: | Trust ye in Jehovah for ever; for in Jehovah, [even] Jehovah, is an everlasting rock. | Confidate nell'Eterno per sempre perché l'Eterno, sì l'Eterno, è la roccia eterna. |
| 5 | Il a renversé ceux qui habitaient les hauteurs, Il a abaissé la ville superbe ; Il l'a abaissée jusqu'à terre, Il lui a fait toucher la poussière. | For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust. | For he hath brought down them that dwell on high, the lofty city: he layeth it low, he layeth it low even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust. | Egli ha umiliato quelli che stavano in alto, ha abbassato la città elevata, l'ha abbassata fino a terra, l'ha gettata nella polvere; |
| 6 | Elle est foulée aux pieds, Aux pieds des pauvres, sous les pas des misérables. | The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy. | The foot shall tread it down; even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy. | i piedi la calpestano, i piedi stessi del povero e i passi dei meschini. |
| 7 | Le chemin du juste est la droiture ; Toi qui es juste, tu aplanis le sentier du juste. | The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just. | The way of the just is uprightness: thou that art upright dost direct the path of the just. | La via del giusto è diritta; o giusto Dio, tu appiani il sentiero del giusto. |
| 8 | Aussi nous t'attendons, ô Éternel ! sur la voie de tes jugements ; Notre âme soupire après ton nom et après ton souvenir. | Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee. | Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Jehovah, have we waited for thee; to thy name, even to thy memorial [name], is the desire of our soul. | Sì, nella via dei tuoi giudizi, o Eterno, noi ti abbiamo aspettato. Il desiderio della nostra anima si volge al tuo nome e al tuo ricordo |
| 9 | Mon âme te désire pendant la nuit, Et mon esprit te cherche au dedans de moi ; Car, lorsque tes jugements s'exercent sur la terre, Les habitants du monde apprennent la justice. | With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. | With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee earnestly: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. | Con la mia anima ti desidero di notte, sì, con lo spirito che è dentro di me ti cerco al mattino presto; poiché quando i tuoi giudizi si manifestano sulla terra, gli abitanti del mondo imparano la giustizia |
| 10 | Si l'on fait grâce au méchant, il n'apprend pas la justice, Il se livre au mal dans le pays de la droiture, Et il n'a point égard à la majesté de Dieu. | Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD. | Let favor be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, and will not behold the majesty of Jehovah. | Se si fa grazia all'empio, egli non imparerà la giustizia; agirà perversamente nel paese della rettitudine e non potrà vedere la maestà dell'Eterno. |
| 11 | Éternel, ta main est puissante : Ils ne l'aperçoivent pas. Ils verront ton zèle pour le peuple, et ils en seront confus ; Le feu consumera tes ennemis. | LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them. | Jehovah, thy hand is lifted up, yet they see not: but they shall see [thy] zeal for the people, and be put to shame; yea, fire shall devour thine adversaries. | O Eterno, la tua mano è levata, ma essi non la scorgono. Essi però vedranno il tuo zelo per il tuo popolo e saranno confusi; sì, il fuoco dei tuoi nemici li divorerà |
| 12 | Éternel, tu nous donnes la paix ; Car tout ce que nous faisons, C'est toi qui l'accomplis pour nous. | LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us. | Jehovah, thou wilt ordain peace for us; for thou hast also wrought all our works for us. | O Eterno, tu stabilirai la pace per noi, perché tu compi per noi ogni nostra opera |
| 13 | Éternel, notre Dieu, d'autres maîtres que toi ont dominé sur nous ; Mais c'est grâce à toi seul que nous invoquons ton nom. | O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name. | O Jehovah our God, other lords besides thee have had dominion over us; but by thee only will we make mention of thy name. | O Eterno, DIO nostro, altri signori, all'infuori di te, ci hanno dominato; ma solo per te ricordiamo il tuo nome. |
| 14 | Ceux qui sont morts ne revivront pas, Des ombres ne se relèveront pas ; Car tu les as châtiés, tu les as anéantis, Et tu en as détruit tout souvenir. | They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish. | [They are] dead, they shall not live; [they are] deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all remembrance of them to perish. | I morti non rivivranno più; i trapassati non risorgeranno più, perciò tu li hai puniti, li hai distrutti e hai fatto sparire ogni loro ricordo. |
| 15 | Multiplie le peuple, ô Éternel ! Multiplie le peuple, manifeste ta gloire ; Recule toutes les limites du pays. | Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth. | Thou hast increased the nation, O Jehovah, thou hast increased the nation; thou art glorified; thou hast enlarged all the borders of the land. | Tu hai accresciuto la nazione, o Eterno, hai accresciuto la nazione, ti sei glorificato; hai esteso tutti i confini del paese |
| 16 | Éternel, ils t'ont cherché, quand ils étaient dans la détresse ; Ils se sont répandus en prières, quand tu les as châtiés. | LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them. | Jehovah, in trouble have they visited thee; they poured out a prayer [when] thy chastening was upon them. | O Eterno, nell'avversità si sono ricordati di te, hanno effuso una preghiera, quando il tuo castigo li colpiva. |
| 17 | Comme une femme enceinte, sur le point d'accoucher, Se tord et crie au milieu de ses douleurs, Ainsi avons-nous été, loin de ta face, ô Éternel ! | Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD. | Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain and crieth out in her pangs; so we have been before thee, O Jehovah. | Come una donna incinta che sta per partorire si contorce e grida nelle sue doglie, così siamo stati noi davanti a te, o Eterno |
| 18 | Nous avons conçu, nous avons éprouvé des douleurs, Et, quand nous enfantons, ce n'est que du vent : Le pays n'est pas sauvé, Et ses habitants ne sont pas nés. | We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen. | We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen. | Abbiamo concepito, abbiamo sentito le doglie, come se dovessimo partorire, ma era solo vento; non abbiamo recato alcuna salvezza al paese e gli abitanti del mondo non sono caduti |
| 19 | Que tes morts revivent ! Que mes cadavres se relèvent ! -Réveillez-vous et tressaillez de joie, habitants de la poussière ! Car ta rosée est une rosée vivifiante, Et la terre redonnera le jour aux ombres. | Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. | Thy dead shall live; my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust; for thy dew is [as] the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast forth the dead. | I tuoi morti rivivranno, assieme al mio cadavere risorgeranno. Svegliatevi ed esultate o voi che abitate nella polvere! Poiché la tua rugiada è come la rugiada di una luce sfavillante e la terra darà alla luce i morti. |
| 20 | Va, mon peuple, entre dans ta chambre, Et ferme la porte derrière toi ; Cache-toi pour quelques instants, Jusqu'à ce que la colère soit passée. | Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. | Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. | Va o popolo mio, entra nelle tue camere, chiudi le tue porte dietro a te; nasconditi per un istante, finché sia passata l'indignazione. |
| 21 | Car voici, l'Éternel sort de sa demeure, Pour punir les crimes des habitants de la terre ; Et la terre mettra le sang à nu, Elle ne couvrira plus les meurtres. | For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. | For, behold, Jehovah cometh forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. | Poiché ecco, l'Eterno esce dalla sua dimora per punire l'iniquità degli abitanti della terra; la terra metterà allo scoperto il suo sangue versato e non nasconderà più i suoi uccisi. |
