In our family worship, we’ve started learning some Psalms from the Huguenot Psalter. It is a great exercise, and a real help to grasp the message of these Psalms, and a tool to meditate on them later. The tunes are easy to remember, and can be sung without\u00c2\u00a0accompaniment\u00c2\u00a0(which is a change from modern tunes). Here is the first Psalm in modern French.<\/p>\n

\n
1. L’homme qui fuit le conseil des trompeurs<\/address>\n
Sans s’arr\u00c3\u00aater au chemin des p\u00c3\u00a9cheurs<\/address>\n
Ni sur le banc o\u00c3\u00b9 les moqueurs s’asseyent<\/address>\n
Mais que la Loi du Seigneur \u00c3\u00a9merveille<\/address>\n
(Loi dont il est jour et nuit d\u00c3\u00a9sireux),<\/address>\n
Certainement, celui-l\u00c3\u00a0 est heureux!<\/address>\n
<\/address>\n
2. Il semblera un arbre grand et beau,<\/address>\n
Plant\u00c3\u00a9 le long d’un clair courant ruisseau;<\/address>\n
En sa saison, on voit le fruit qu’il porte<\/address>\n
Sans que jamais sa feuille tombe morte.<\/address>\n
Le vrai croyant et tout ce qu’il fera<\/address>\n
A l’avenir toujours prosp\u00c3\u00a9rera.<\/address>\n
<\/address>\n
3. Mais les pervers n’auront pas ces vertus;<\/address>\n
Ils deviendront semblables aux f\u00c3\u00a9tus,<\/address>\n
A la poussi\u00c3\u00a8re au gr\u00c3\u00a9 du ven chass\u00c3\u00a9e…<\/address>\n
Aussi leur cause sera renvers\u00c3\u00a9e<\/address>\n
Au Jugement, quand tous ces r\u00c3\u00a9prouv\u00c3\u00a9s<\/address>\n
Au rang des bons ne seront pas trouv\u00c3\u00a9s.<\/address>\n
<\/address>\n
4. Car l’Eternel conna\u00c3\u00aet les hommes droits,<\/address>\n
Prenant soin d’eux sur le chemin \u00c3\u00a9troit;<\/address>\n
Ils recevront le vrai bonheur qui dure.<\/address>\n
Une autre voie aux p\u00c3\u00a9cheurs semble s\u00c3\u00bbre,<\/address>\n
Mais les voil\u00c3\u00a0 dans la direction<\/address>\n
O\u00c3\u00b9, avec leurs projets, ils p\u00c3\u00a9riront.<\/address>\n
