Psalms 32:9 in Context — Psalms 32
7 Tu es un asile pour moi, tu me garantis de la détresse, Tu m’entoures de chants de délivrance. — Pause.
8 Je t’instruirai et te montrerai la voie que tu dois suivre; Je te conseillerai, j’aurai le regard sur toi.
9 Ne soyez pas comme un cheval ou un mulet sans intelligence; On les bride avec un frein et un mors, dont on les pare, Afin qu’ils ne s’approchent point de toi.
10 Beaucoup de douleurs sont la part du méchant, Mais celui qui se confie en l’Éternel est environné de sa grâce.
11 Justes, réjouissez-vous en l’Éternel et soyez dans l’allégresse! Poussez des cris de joie, vous tous qui êtes droits de cœur!
