Tap a verse to highlight it

1 Cantique des degrés. Ils m’ont souvent opprimé dès ma jeunesse, – qu’Israël le dise, –

2 Ils m’ont souvent opprimé dès ma jeunesse; cependant ils n’ont pas prévalu sur moi.

3 Des laboureurs ont labouré mon dos, ils y ont tracé leurs longs sillons.

4 L’ Éternel est juste; il a coupé les cordes des méchants.

5 Qu’ils soient couverts de honte, et se retirent en arrière, tous ceux qui haïssent Sion.

6 Qu’ils soient comme l’herbe des toits, qui sèche avant qu’on l’arrache,

7 Dont le moissonneur ne remplit pas sa main, ni le lieur de gerbes son sein;…

8 Et les passants ne disent pas: La bénédiction de l’ Éternel soit sur vous! nous vous bénissons au nom de l’ Éternel.

Verses 5-6 wish that those who hate Zion be "confounded and turned back" and become "as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up": brief, rootless, and unproductive.
