Psalms 59:12 in Context — Psalms 59

10 Quelle que soit leur force, c’est en toi que j’espère, Car Dieu est ma haute retraite.

11 Mon Dieu vient au-devant de moi dans sa bonté, Dieu me fait contempler avec joie ceux qui me persécutent.

12 Ne les tue pas, de peur que mon peuple ne l’oublie; Fais-les errer par ta puissance, et précipite-les, Seigneur, notre bouclier!

13 Leur bouche pèche à chaque parole de leurs lèvres: Qu’ils soient pris dans leur propre orgueil! Ils ne profèrent que malédictions et mensonges.

14 Détruis-les, dans ta fureur, détruis-les, et qu’ils ne soient plus! Qu’ils sachent que Dieu règne sur Jacob, Jusqu’aux extrémités de la terre! — Pause.
