Psaumes 56.1
New International Version

Confiance dans la détresse

¹ Be merciful to me, my God,
for my enemies are in hot pursuit;
all day long they press their attack.

² My adversaries pursue me all day long;
in their pride many are attacking me.

³ When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.

⁴ In God, whose word I praise —
in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?

⁵ All day long they twist my words;
all their schemes are for my ruin.

⁶ They conspire, they lurk,
they watch my steps,
hoping to take my life.

⁷ Because of their wickedness do not let them escape;
in your anger, God, bring the nations down.

⁸ Record my misery;
list my tears on your scroll —
are they not in your record?

⁹ Then my enemies will turn back
when I call for help.
By this I will know that God is for me.

¹⁰ In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise —

¹¹ in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can man do to me?

¹² I am under vows to you, my God;
I will present my thank offerings to you.

¹³ For you have delivered me from death
and my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of life.
