Psalms 40:14 in Context — Psalms 40
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!
15 Que tous ensemble ils soient honteux et confus, Ceux qui en veulent à ma vie pour l’enlever! Qu’ils reculent et rougissent, Ceux qui désirent ma perte!
16 Qu’ils soient dans la stupeur par l’effet de leur honte, Ceux qui me disent: Ah! Ah!
