Cantique des degrés.
Ceux qui se confient en l’Éternel
Sont comme la montagne de Sion: elle ne chancelle point,
Elle est affermie pour toujours.
Des montagnes entourent Jérusalem;
Ainsi l’Éternel entoure son peuple,
Dès maintenant et à jamais.
Car le sceptre de la méchanceté ne restera pas sur le lot des justes,
Afin que les justes ne tendent pas les mains vers l’iniquité.
Éternel, répands tes bienfaits sur les bons
Et sur ceux dont le cœur est droit!
Mais ceux qui s’engagent dans des voies détournées,
Que l’Éternel les détruise avec ceux qui font le mal!
Que la paix soit sur Israël!
