Psalms 59:6 in Context — Psalms 59

4 Car voici, ils sont aux aguets pour m’ôter la vie; Des hommes violents complotent contre moi, Sans que je sois coupable, sans que j’aie péché, ô Éternel!

5 Malgré mon innocence, ils courent, ils se préparent: Réveille-toi, viens à ma rencontre, et regarde!

6 Toi, Éternel, Dieu des armées, Dieu d’Israël, Lève-toi, pour châtier toutes les nations! N’aie pitié d’aucun de ces méchants infidèles! — Pause.

7 Ils reviennent chaque soir, ils hurlent comme des chiens, Ils font le tour de la ville.
