Psalms

1thuở nhà Gia-cóp rời bỏ ngoại bang,

2Ít-ra-en nên lãnh địa của Người.

3sông Gio-đan cũng chảy ngược dòng.

4như thể đàn cừu, gò nổng tung tăng.

5Gio-đan hỡi, cớ chi chảy ngược dòng ?

6Này gò nổng, sao tung tăng như thể đàn cừu ?

7trước thánh nhan Chúa Trời nhà Gia-cóp,

8và sỏi đá nên mạch nước dồi dào.

9Cette traduction n'inclut pas ce passage.

1I have loved, because the Lord will hear the voice of my prayer.

2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me: and in my days I will call upon him.

3The sorrows of death have encompassed me: and the perils of hell have found me. I met with trouble and sorrow:

4And I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, deliver my soul.

5The Lord is merciful and just, and our God sheweth mercy.

6The Lord is the keeper of little ones: I was little and he delivered me.

7Turn, O my soul, into thy rest: for the Lord hath been bountiful to thee.

8For he hath delivered my soul from death: my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.

9I will please the Lord in the land of the living.
