4 Tous les rois de la terre te loueront, ô Éternel! En entendant les paroles de ta bouche;

5 Ils célébreront les voies de l’Éternel, Car la gloire de l’Éternel est grande.

6 L’Éternel est élevé: il voit les humbles, Et il reconnaît de loin les orgueilleux.

7 Quand je marche au milieu de la détresse, tu me rends la vie, Tu étends ta main sur la colère de mes ennemis, Et ta droite me sauve.

8 L’Éternel agira en ma faveur. Éternel, ta bonté dure toujours, N’abandonne pas les œuvres de tes mains!
