Psalms 16:8 in Context — Psalms 16

6 Un héritage délicieux m’est échu, Une belle possession m’est accordée.

7 Je bénis l’Éternel, mon conseiller; La nuit même mon cœur m’exhorte.

8 J’ai constamment l’Éternel sous mes yeux; Quand il est à ma droite, je ne chancelle pas.

9 Aussi mon cœur est dans la joie, mon esprit dans l’allégresse, Et mon corps repose en sécurité.

10 Car tu ne livreras pas mon âme au séjour des morts, Tu ne permettras pas que ton bien-aimé voie la corruption.
