Psalms 108
1 God, I am (very confident/trusting completely) [IDM] in you. I will sing to praise [you]. with all my inner being.
Cantique. Psaume de David. Mon cœur est affermi, ô Dieu, je chanterai et ferai retentir de joyeux instruments. Debout, ma gloire!
2 I will arise before the sun rises, and I will [praise you while I play] my [big] harp and my (lyre/small harp).
Éveillez-vous, ma lyre et ma harpe! Que j’éveille l’aurore!
3 [I prayed], “Yahweh, I will thank you among [all] the people-groups; I will sing to praise you among the nations,
Je te louerai parmi les peuples, Yahweh, je te chanterai parmi les nations.
4 because your faithful love for us reaches up to the heavens, and your faithfully doing what you promise [is as great as the distance] up to the clouds.
Car ta bonté s’élève au-dessus des cieux, et ta fidélité jusqu’aux nues.
5 Yahweh, [show] in the heavens that you are very great! And [show] your glory [to people] all over the earth!
Élève-toi au-dessus des cieux, ô Dieu; que ta gloire brille sur toute la terre!
6 Answer our [prayers] and by your power help us [MTY] [to defeat our enemies] in order that we, the people whom you love, may be saved/rescued.”
Afin que tes bien-aimés soient délivrés, sauve par ta droite et exauce-moi.
7 And [Yahweh answered our prayers and] spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered [your enemies], I will joyfully [everything in] [city] and I will distribute among my people [the valuable things] in Succoth Valley.
Dieu a parlé dans sa sainteté: « Je tressaillirai de joie! J’aurai Sichem en partage, je mesurerai la vallée de Succoth.
8 The Gilead [region] is mine; the [people of the tribe of] Manasseh are mine; [the tribe of] Ephraim is [like] my war helmet, and [the tribe of Judah] is like the (scepter/stick that I hold which shows that I am the ruler) [MET];
Galaad est à moi, à moi Manassé; Ephraïm est l’armure de ma tête, et Judas mon sceptre.
9 the Moab [region] is [like] my washbasin [MET]; I throw my sandal in the Edom [area to show that it belongs to me]; I shout triumphantly because I have defeated [the people of] the Philistia [area].”
Moab est le bassin où je me lave; sur Edom je jette ma sandale; sur la terre des Philistins je pousse des cris de joie. »
10 [Because we want to attack the people of] Edom, (who will lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it?/I want someone to lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it.) [RHQ]
Qui me mènera à la ville forte! Qui me conduira à Edom?
11 God, we [hope that] [RHQ] you have not abandoned us, and that you will go with us when our army marches out [to fight our enemies].
N’est-ce pas toi, ô Dieu, qui nous avais rejetés, ô Dieu qui ne sortais plus avec nos armées?
12 [We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
Prête-nous ton secours contre l’oppresseur! Le secours de l’homme n’est que vanité.
13 [But] with you [helping us], we shall win; you will [enable us to] defeat our enemies.
Avec Dieu nous accomplirons des exploits; il écrasera nos ennemis.
