Psalms 40:12 in Context — Psalms 40

10 J’annonce la justice dans la grande assemblée; Voici, je ne ferme pas mes lèvres, Éternel, tu le sais!

11 Je ne retiens pas dans mon cœur ta justice, Je publie ta vérité et ton salut; Je ne cache pas ta bonté et ta fidélité Dans la grande assemblée.

12 Toi, Éternel! Tu ne me refuseras pas tes compassions; Ta bonté et ta fidélité me garderont toujours.

13 Car des maux sans nombre m’environnent; Les châtiments de mes iniquités m’atteignent, Et je ne puis en supporter la vue; Ils sont plus nombreux que les cheveux de ma tête, Et mon courage m’abandonne.

14 Veuille me délivrer, ô Éternel! Éternel, viens en hâte à mon secours!
