Psalms 113

1 Praise Yahweh! You people who serve Yahweh, praise him! Praise (him/his name)!

Alléluia! Serviteurs de l'Éternel, louez, louez le nom de l'Éternel!

2 Yahweh should be praised now and forever!

Béni soit le nom de l'Éternel dès maintenant à jamais!

3 People who live in the east and people who live in the west, everyone, should praise Yahweh [MTY]!

Du soleil levant jusques au couchant, que le nom de l'Éternel soit loué!

4 Yahweh rules [MTY] over all the nations, and high in the heavens he shows that his glory is very great.

L'Éternel s'élève par dessus tous les peuples, et sa gloire par dessus les Cieux.

5 There is no one [RHQ] who is like Yahweh, our God, who lives/sits/rules in the highest heaven,

Qui est semblable à l'Éternel, notre Dieu, qui habite une sublime région,

6 and looks far down through the heavens and sees the [people on] the earth.

et qui se baisse pour voir les Cieux et la terre?

7 [Sometimes] he lifts poor people up [so that they no longer sit in] the dirt; he helps needy [people so that they no longer sit on] heaps of ashes

Il relève l'humble de la poudre, et Il tire le pauvre de la fange,

8 and causes them to [be honored] by sitting next to princes, the sons of the kings [who rule] their people.

pour le faire asseoir à côté des princes, à côté des princes de son peuple.

9 He also enables women who have no children to have a family; he causes them to be happy mothers. Praise Yahweh!

Il donne dans la maison à l'épouse stérile la condition d'une mère que des fils réjouissent. Alléluia!
