Psaumes 9.20
New International Version

Le jugement de Dieu sur les nations

¹ I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.

² I will be glad and rejoice in you;
I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.

³ My enemies turn back;
they stumble and perish before you.

⁴ For you have upheld my right and my cause,
sitting enthroned as the righteous judge.

⁵ You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked;
you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.

⁶ Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies,
you have uprooted their cities;
even the memory of them has perished.

⁷ The Lord reigns forever;
he has established his throne for judgment.

⁸ He rules the world in righteousness
and judges the peoples with equity.

⁹ The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.

¹⁰ Those who know your name trust in you,
for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.

¹¹ Sing the praises of the Lord, enthroned in Zion;
proclaim among the nations what he has done.

¹² For he who avenges blood remembers;
he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted.

¹³ Lord, see how my enemies persecute me!
Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,

¹⁴ that I may declare your praises
in the gates of Daughter Zion,
and there rejoice in your salvation.

¹⁵ The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug;
their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.

¹⁶ The Lord is known by his acts of justice;
the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.

¹⁷ The wicked go down to the realm of the dead,
all the nations that forget God.

¹⁸ But God will never forget the needy;
the hope of the afflicted will never perish.

¹⁹ Arise, Lord, do not let mortals triumph;
let the nations be judged in your presence.

²⁰ Strike them with terror, Lord;
let the nations know they are only mortal.
