Psalms 140:7 in Context — Psalms 140

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!

8 Éternel, Seigneur, force de mon salut! Tu couvres ma tête au jour du combat.

9 Éternel, n’accomplis pas les désirs du méchant, Ne laisse pas réussir ses projets, de peur qu’il ne s’en glorifie! — Pause.
