Psalms 140:11 in Context — Psalms 140
9 Éternel, n’accomplis pas les désirs du méchant, Ne laisse pas réussir ses projets, de peur qu’il ne s’en glorifie! — Pause.
10 Que sur la tête de ceux qui m’environnent Retombe l’iniquité de leurs lèvres!
11 Que des charbons ardents soient jetés sur eux! Qu’il les précipite dans le feu, Dans des abîmes, d’où ils ne se relèvent plus!
12 L’homme dont la langue est fausse ne s’affermit pas sur la terre; Et l’homme violent, le malheur l’entraîne à sa perte.
13 Je sais que l’Éternel fait droit au misérable, Justice aux indigents.
