Psalms 9:18 in Context — Psalms 9

16 Les nations tombent dans la fosse qu’elles ont faite, Leur pied se prend au filet qu’elles ont caché.

17 L’Éternel se montre, il fait justice, Il enlace le méchant dans l’œuvre de ses mains. Jeu d’instruments. — Pause.

18 Les méchants se tournent vers le séjour des morts, Toutes les nations qui oublient Dieu.

19 Car le malheureux n’est point oublié à jamais, L’espérance des misérables ne périt pas à toujours.

20 Lève-toi, ô Éternel! Que l’homme ne triomphe pas! Que les nations soient jugées devant ta face!
