< Psalms 112 >

1 Praise Yahweh! (Happy are/He is pleased with) those who revere him, those who happily obey his commands.
Louez l’Éternel! Heureux l’homme qui craint l’Éternel, Qui trouve un grand plaisir à ses commandements.
2 Their children will prosper in their land; and their descendants will be blessed [by God].
Sa postérité sera puissante sur la terre, La génération des hommes droits sera bénie.
3 Their families [MTY] will be very wealthy [DOU], and [the results of] their righteous deeds will endure forever.
Il a dans sa maison bien-être et richesse, Et sa justice subsiste à jamais.
4 Godly/Righteous people are [like] lights [SIM] that shine in the darkness on those who are kind, merciful and righteous.
La lumière se lève dans les ténèbres pour les hommes droits, Pour celui qui est miséricordieux, compatissant et juste.
5 Things [will] go well for those who generously lend money to others and who conduct their businesses honestly.
Heureux l’homme qui exerce la miséricorde et qui prête, Qui règle ses actions d’après la justice!
6 Righteous people will not be overwhelmed/worried/distressed [because of their troubles], and they will never be forgotten [by other people].
Car il ne chancelle jamais; La mémoire du juste dure toujours.
7 They are not afraid of [receiving] bad news; they confidently/completely trust in Yahweh.
Il ne craint point les mauvaises nouvelles; Son cœur est ferme, confiant en l’Éternel.
8 They are confident and not afraid, because they know that they will see [God defeat] their enemies.
Son cœur est affermi; il n’a point de crainte, Jusqu’à ce qu’il mette son plaisir à regarder ses adversaires.
9 They give things generously to poor/needy [people]; [the results of] their kind deeds will endure forever, and they [will] be exalted and honored.
Il fait des largesses, il donne aux indigents; Sa justice subsiste à jamais; Sa tête s’élève avec gloire,
10 Wicked people see those things and are angry; they gnash their teeth [angrily], but they [will] disappear [and die]. The [wicked] things that they want to do [will] never happen.
Le méchant le voit et s’irrite, Il grince les dents et se consume; Les désirs des méchants périssent.
