Psalms 24

1 A Psalm. Of David. The earth is the Lord's, with all its wealth; the world and all the people living in it.

Psaume de David. A l’Éternel la terre et ce qu’elle renferme, Le monde et ceux qui l’habitent!

2 For by him it was based on the seas, and made strong on the deep rivers.

Car il l’a fondée sur les mers, Et affermie sur les fleuves.

3 Who may go up into the hill of the Lord? and who may come into his holy place?

Qui pourra monter à la montagne de l’Éternel? Qui s’élèvera jusqu’à son lieu saint?

4 He who has clean hands and a true heart; whose desire has not gone out to foolish things, who has not taken a false oath.

Celui qui a les mains innocentes et le cœur pur; Celui qui ne livre pas son âme au mensonge, Et qui ne jure pas pour tromper.

5 He will have blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Il obtiendra la bénédiction de l’Éternel, La miséricorde du Dieu de son salut.

6 This is the generation of those whose hearts are turned to you, even to your face, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

Voilà le partage de la génération qui l’invoque, De ceux qui cherchent ta face, Dieu de Jacob! (Pause)

7 Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in.

Portes, élevez vos linteaux; Élevez-vous, portes éternelles! Que le roi de gloire fasse son entrée!

8 Who is the King of glory? The Lord of strength and power, the Lord strong in war.

Qui est ce roi de gloire? L’Éternel fort et puissant, L’Éternel puissant dans les combats.

9 Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; let them be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in.

Portes, élevez vos linteaux; Élevez-les, portes éternelles! Que le roi de gloire fasse son entrée!

10 Who is the King of glory? The Lord of armies, he is the King of glory. (Selah)

Qui donc est ce roi de gloire? L’Éternel des armées: Voilà le roi de gloire! (Pause)
