Psalms 56:5 in Context — Psalms 56

3 Tout le jour mes adversaires me harcèlent; Ils sont nombreux, ils me font la guerre comme des hautains.

4 Quand je suis dans la crainte, En toi je me confie.

5 Je me glorifierai en Dieu, en sa parole; Je me confie en Dieu, je ne crains rien: Que peuvent me faire des hommes?

6 Sans cesse ils portent atteinte à mes droits, Ils n’ont à mon égard que de mauvaises pensées.

7 Ils complotent, ils épient, ils observent mes traces, Parce qu’ils en veulent à ma vie.
