1 Éternel! je cherche en toi mon refuge: Que jamais je ne sois confondu!

2 Dans ta justice, sauve-moi et délivre-moi! Incline vers moi ton oreille, et secours-moi!

3 Sois pour moi un rocher qui me serve d’asile, Où je puisse toujours me retirer! Tu as résolu de me sauver, Car tu es mon rocher et ma forteresse.

4 Mon Dieu, délivre-moi de la main du méchant, De la main de l’homme inique et violent!

5 Car tu es mon espérance, Seigneur Éternel! En toi je me confie dès ma jeunesse.
