Psalms 55:15 in Context — Psalms 55

13 Ce n’est pas un ennemi qui m’outrage, je le supporterais; Ce n’est pas mon adversaire qui s’élève contre moi, Je me cacherais devant lui.

14 C’est toi, que j’estimais mon égal, Toi, mon confident et mon ami!

15 Ensemble nous vivions dans une douce intimité, Nous allions avec la foule à la maison de Dieu!

16 Que la mort les surprenne, Qu’ils descendent vivants au séjour des morts! Car la méchanceté est dans leur demeure, au milieu d’eux.

17 Et moi, je crie à Dieu, Et l’Éternel me sauvera.
