Psalms 40:4 in Context — Psalms 40

2 J’avais mis en l’Éternel mon espérance; Et il s’est incliné vers moi, il a écouté mes cris.

3 Il m’a retiré de la fosse de destruction, Du fond de la boue; Et il a dressé mes pieds sur le roc, Il a affermi mes pas.

4 Il a mis dans ma bouche un cantique nouveau, Une louange à notre Dieu; Beaucoup l’ont vu, et ont eu de la crainte, Et ils se sont confiés en l’Éternel.

5 Heureux l’homme qui place en l’Éternel sa confiance, Et qui ne se tourne pas vers les hautains et les menteurs!

6 Tu as multiplié, Éternel, mon Dieu! Tes merveilles et tes desseins en notre faveur; Nul n’est comparable à toi; Je voudrais les publier et les proclamer, Mais leur nombre est trop grand pour que je les raconte.
