Yahweh, listen to me while I plead with you to act justly toward me. Hear me while I call out to you to help me. Pay attention to what I say while I pray because I am speaking [MTY] honestly/truthfully.
2 Que mon droit sorte de ta présence, que tes yeux regardent à la justice.
You are the one who is able to declare that I (am innocent/have not done anything that was wrong) because you see/know that I am telling the truth.

Yahweh, come and (oppose/fight against) my enemies and defeat them! Use your sword to save me from those wicked people!

Yahweh, by your power [MTY] rescue me from those people who are interested [only] in things here in this world. But you provide plenty of food for those whom you love dearly; their children also have many things that their grandchildren will inherit.
15 [Mais] moi, je verrai ta face en justice, et je serai rassasié de ta ressemblance, quand je serai réveillé.
Yahweh, because I act righteously, I will [some day] see you [SYN]. When I awake, I will see you face-to-face, and then I will be happy.
