New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 Au chef des chantres. A Jeduthun, Psaume de David. Je disais: Je veillerai sur mes voies, De peur de p?cher par ma langue; Je mettrai un frein ? ma bouche, Tant que le m?chant sera devant moi.
|
1 I said, "I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin; I will put a muzzle on my mouth as long as the wicked are in my presence."
|
|
2 Je suis rest? muet, dans le silence; Je me suis tu, quoique malheureux; Et ma douleur n'?tait pas moins vive.
|
2 But when I was silent and still, not even saying anything good, my anguish increased.
|
|
3 Mon coeur br?lait au dedans de moi, Un feu int?rieur me consumait, Et la parole est venue sur ma langue.
|
3 My heart grew hot within me, and as I meditated, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue:
|
|
4 ?ternel! dis-moi quel est le terme de ma vie, Quelle est la mesure de mes jours; Que je sache combien je suis fragile.
|
4 "Show me, O LORD, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life.
|
|
5 Voici, tu as donn? ? mes jours la largeur de la main, Et ma vie est comme un rien devant toi. Oui, tout homme debout n'est qu'un souffle. -Pause.
|
5 You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Each man's life is but a breath. "Selah"
|
|
6 Oui, l'homme se prom?ne comme une ombre, Il s'agite vainement; Il amasse, et il ne sait qui recueillera.
|
6 Man is a mere phantom as he goes to and fro: He bustles about, but only in vain; he heaps up wealth, not knowing who will get it.
|
|
7 Maintenant, Seigneur, que puis-je esp?rer? En toi est mon esp?rance.
|
7 "But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you.
