Psalms 140:5 in Context — Psalms 140

3 Qui méditent de mauvais desseins dans leur cœur, Et sont toujours prêts à faire la guerre!

4 Ils aiguisent leur langue comme un serpent, Ils ont sous leurs lèvres un venin d’aspic. — Pause.

5 Éternel, garantis-moi des mains du méchant! Préserve-moi des hommes violents, Qui méditent de me faire tomber!

6 Des orgueilleux me tendent un piège et des filets, Ils placent des rets le long du chemin, Ils me dressent des embûches. — Pause.

7 Je dis à l’Éternel: Tu es mon Dieu! Éternel, prête l’oreille à la voix de mes supplications!
