| 2 | Éternel, j'ai entendu ce que tu as annoncé, je suis saisi de crainte. Accomplis ton oeuvre dans le cours des années, ô Éternel ! Dans le cours des années manifeste-la ! Mais dans ta colère souviens-toi de tes compassions ! | O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy. | O Jehovah, I have heard the report of thee, and am afraid: O Jehovah, revive thy work in the midst of the years; In the midst of the years make it known; In wrath remember mercy. | O Eterno, io ho udito il tuo parlare e ho paura; o Eterno, fa' rivivere la tua opera nel corso degli anni, nel corso degli anni falla conoscere. Nell'ira ricordati della compassione. |
| 3 | Dieu vient de Théman, Le Saint vient de la montagne de Paran... Pause. Sa majesté couvre les cieux, Et sa gloire remplit la terre. | God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. | God came from Teman, And the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah.

| 4 | C'est comme l'éclat de la lumière ; Des rayons partent de sa main ; Là réside sa force. | And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power. | And [his] brightness was as the light; He had rays [coming forth] from his hand; And there was the hiding of his power. | Il suo splendore era come la luce, raggi si sprigionavano dalla sua mano e là era nascosta la sua potenza. |
| 5 | Devant lui marche la peste, Et la peste est sur ses traces. | Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet. | Before him went the pestilence, And fiery bolts went forth at his feet. | Davanti a lui camminava la peste e pestilenza ardente seguiva i suoi passi. |
| 6 | Il s'arrête, et de l'oeil il mesure la terre ; Il regarde, et il fait trembler les nations ; Les montagnes éternelles se brisent, Les collines antiques s'abaissent ; Les sentiers d'autrefois s'ouvrent devant lui. | He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting. | He stood, and measured the earth; He beheld, and drove asunder the nations; And the eternal mountains were scattered; The everlasting hills did bow; His goings were [as] of old. | Egli si fermava e misurava la terra, guardava e faceva tremare le nazioni, i monti eterni si disperdevano, i colli antichi si abbassavano; le sue vie sono eterne. |

| 8 | L'Éternel est-il irrité contre les fleuves ? Est-ce contre les fleuves que s'enflamme ta colère, Contre la mer que se répand ta fureur, Pour que tu sois monté sur tes chevaux, Sur ton char de victoire ? | Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of salvation? | Was Jehovah displeased with the rivers? Was thine anger against the rivers, Or thy wrath against the sea, That thou didst ride upon thy horses, Upon thy chariots of salvation? | O Eterno, ardeva forse la tua ira contro i fiumi? O era la tua ira contro i fiumi o il tuo furore contro il mare, quando cavalcavi sui tuoi cavalli, sui tuoi carri di vittoria? |
| 9 | Ton arc est mis à nu ; Les malédictions sont les traits de ta parole... Pause. Tu fends la terre pour donner cours aux fleuves. | Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers. | Thy bow was made quite bare; The oaths to the tribes were a [sure] word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers. | Tu hai messo interamente a nudo il tuo arco, secondo i giuramenti fatti sulle tue frecce. Tu hai diviso la terra con i fiumi. |
| 10 | A ton aspect, les montagnes tremblent ; Des torrents d'eau se précipitent ; L'abîme fait entendre sa voix, Il lève ses mains en haut. | The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high. | The mountains saw thee, and were afraid; The tempest of waters passed by; The deep uttered its voice, And lifted up its hands on high. | I monti ti videro e tremarono; l'uragano d'acqua è passato; l'abisso ha fatto udire la sua voce, e ha levato in alto le mani. |
| 11 | Le soleil et la lune s'arrêtent dans leur demeure, A la lumière de tes flèches qui partent, A la clarté de ta lance qui brille. | The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear. | The sun and moon stood still in their habitation, At the light of thine arrows as they went, At the shining of thy glittering spear. | Il sole e la luna sono rimasti nella loro dimora; alla luce delle tue frecce si sono mossi veloci, al lampeggiare della tua lancia sfolgorante. |

| 13 | Tu sors pour délivrer ton peuple, Pour délivrer ton oint ; Tu brises le faîte de la maison du méchant, Tu la détruis de fond en comble. Pause. | Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, even for salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck.

| 14 | Tu perces de tes traits la tête de ses chefs, Qui se précipitent comme la tempête pour me disperser, Poussant des cris de joie, Comme s'ils dévoraient déjà le malheureux dans leur repaire. | Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly. | Thou didst pierce with his own staves the head of his warriors: They came as a whirlwind to scatter me; Their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly. | Tu hai trafitto con i loro propri dardi la testa dei suoi villaggi; essi erano venuti come un uragano per disperderli, mandando grida di gioia, come se divorassero il misero in segreto. |

| 16 | J'ai entendu... Et mes entrailles sont émues. A cette voix, mes lèvres frémissent, Mes os se consument, Et mes genoux chancellent : En silence je dois attendre le jour de la détresse, Le jour où l'oppresseur marchera contre le peuple. | When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops. | I heard, and my body trembled, My lips quivered at the voice; Rottenness entereth into my bones, and I tremble in my place; Because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, For the coming up of the people that invadeth us. | Ho udito e le mie viscere fremettero a quella voce le mie labbra tremarono un tarlo entrò nelle mie ossa, e fui preso da gran paura dentro di me. Tuttavia rimarrò tranquillo nel giorno dell'avversità, che verrà contro il popolo che lo invade. |
| 17 | Car le figuier ne fleurira pas, La vigne ne produira rien, Le fruit de l'olivier manquera, Les champs ne donneront pas de nourriture ; Les brebis disparaîtront du pâturage, Et il n'y aura plus de boeufs dans les étables. | Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: | For though the fig-tree shall not flourish, Neither shall fruit be in the vines; The labor of the olive shall fail, And the fields shall yield no food; The flock shall be cut off from the fold, And there shall be no herd in the stalls: | Anche se il fico non fiorirà e non ci sarà alcun frutto sulle viti, anche se il lavoro dell'ulivo sarà deludente e i campi non daranno più cibo, anche se le greggi scompariranno dagli ovili e non ci saranno più buoi nelle stalle, |
| 18 | Toutefois, je veux me réjouir en l'Éternel, Je veux me réjouir dans le Dieu de mon salut. | Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. | Yet I will rejoice in Jehovah, I will joy in the God of my salvation. | esulterò nell'Eterno e mi rallegrerò nel DIO della mia salvezza. |
| 19 | L'Éternel, le Seigneur, est ma force ; Il rend mes pieds semblables à ceux des biches, Et il me fait marcher sur mes lieux élevés. Au chefs des chantres. Avec instruments à cordes. | The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments. | Jehovah, the Lord, is my strength; And he maketh my feet like hinds` [feet], And will make me to walk upon my high places. | L'Eterno, il Signore, è la mia forza; egli renderà i miei piedi come quelli delle cerve e mi farà camminare sulle mie alture. Al maestro del coro. Per strumenti a corda. |
