< Psalms 119 >
1 (Yahweh is pleased with/Happy are) those about whom no one can say truthfully that they have done things that are wrong, those who always obey the laws of Yahweh.
ALEPH Heureux ceux dont les voies sont irréprochables, qui marchent selon la loi de Yahvé.
2 Yahweh is pleased with those who (obey his requirements/do what he has instructed them to do), those who request him with their entire inner beings to help them [to do that].
Heureux ceux qui gardent ses statuts, qui le cherchent de tout leur cœur.
3 They do not do things that are wrong; they behave like Yahweh wants them to.
Oui, ils ne font rien de mal. Ils marchent dans ses voies.

20 In my inner being I strongly desire to know (your regulations/the rules that you have given to us) all the time.
Mon âme se consume de désir pour tes ordonnances en tout temps.

37 Do not allow me to look at things that are worthless, and allow me to continue to live, like you promised that you would do.
Détourne mes yeux des choses sans valeur. Ravivez-moi dans vos voies.
38 [Because] I serve you, do what you promised to do for me, which is what you also promise to do for [all] those who revere you.
Accomplis ta promesse à ton serviteur, pour que vous soyez craint.

72 The laws that you [MTY] gave/told [to us] are [worth] more to me than gold, more than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.
La loi de ta bouche vaut mieux pour moi que des milliers de pièces d'or et d'argent. YODH

Car je suis devenu comme une outre à vin dans la fumée. Je n'oublie pas vos statuts.
84 How long must I wait? When will you punish those who (persecute/cause trouble for) me?
Combien de jours compte ton serviteur? Quand exécuteras-tu le jugement sur ceux qui me persécutent?
85 [It is as though] proud people have dug deep pits for me [to fall into], people who do not obey your laws.
Les orgueilleux ont creusé des fosses pour moi, contraire à votre loi.
86 All (your commands are/what you have commanded is) trustworthy; [but] people are (persecuting/causing trouble for) me by telling lies [about me, so please] help me!
Tous tes commandements sont fidèles. Ils me persécutent à tort. Aidez-moi!
87 Those people have almost killed me, but I have not stopped [obeying] (your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do).

Tes lois demeurent jusqu'à ce jour, car toutes choses te servent.
92 If I had not been delighted [in obeying] your laws, I would have died because of what I was suffering.
Si ta loi n'avait pas fait mes délices, J'aurais péri dans mon affliction.
93 I will never forget (your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do), because as a result of [my obeying them] you have enabled me to [continue to] live.
Je n'oublierai jamais tes préceptes, car avec eux, tu m'as fait revivre.

95 Wicked [men] are waiting to kill me, but I [will] think about what you have instructed [us to do].
Les méchants m'ont attendu, pour me détruire. Je prendrai en considération vos statuts.

J'ai vu une limite à toute perfection, mais vos ordres sont illimités. MEM
97 I love your laws very much. I (meditate on/think about) them all during the day.

Je ne me suis pas détourné de tes ordonnances, car tu m'as appris.
103 [When I read] your words, they are like [MET] sweet things that I taste/eat, [yes], they are even sweeter than honey.
Comme tes promesses sont douces à mon goût, plus que du miel dans ma bouche!
104 Because [I have learned] (your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do), I am able to understand [many things]; therefore, I hate all evil things [that some people do].
Par tes préceptes, j'obtiens la compréhension; c'est pourquoi je déteste toute voie fausse. NUN
105 Your words are [like] [MET] a lamp to guide me; they are [like] a light [MET] to show me the path [that I should walk on].
Ta parole est une lampe pour mes pieds, et une lumière pour mon chemin.

J'ai juré, et je l'ai confirmé, que j'obéirai à tes justes ordonnances.
107 Yahweh, I am suffering very much; cause me to be strong/healthy [again], as you have promised to do.
Je suis très affligé. Ranime-moi, Yahvé, selon ta parole.
108 Yahweh, when I thank you while I pray, it is [like] [MET] a sacrifice to you; [please] accept it, and teach me your (regulations/rules that you have given to us).
Accepte, je t'en prie, les offrandes volontaires de ma bouche. Yahvé, enseigne-moi tes ordonnances.

Tu es ma cachette et mon bouclier. J'espère en ta parole.
115 You evil people, stay away from me in order than I may obey (my God’s commands/what my God has commanded)!
Éloignez-vous de moi, méchants, afin que je puisse garder les commandements de mon Dieu.
116 Enable me to be strong, as you promised/said that you would do, in order that I may [continue to] live. I am confidently expecting [that you will restore me]; (do not disappoint me/do not allow me to be disappointed).
Soutiens-moi selon ta parole, afin que je vive. Que je n'aie pas honte de mon espérance.
117 Hold me up, in order that I will be safe and always (pay attention to/heed) (your statutes/what you have decreed that we should do).
Tenez-moi, et je serai en sécurité, et respectera sans cesse vos statuts.
118 You reject all those who disobey (your statutes/what you have decreed that [we] should do); but what they deceitfully plan to do will be (useless/in vain).
Tu rejettes tous ceux qui s'écartent de tes statuts, car leur ruse est vaine.
119 You get rid of all the wicked [people] on the earth like [SIM] [people throw away] trash; therefore I love what you have instructed us to do.
Tu as fait disparaître tous les méchants de la terre comme des scories. C'est pourquoi j'aime vos témoignages.
120 I [SYN] tremble because I am afraid of you; I am afraid [because you punish those who do not obey] (your regulations/the rules that you have given to us).

122 Promise me that you will do good things for me and do not allow proud [people] to oppress me.

123 My eyes are tired from waiting a long time for you to rescue [me], for you to save [me] like you promised/said that you would.
Mes yeux défaillent en cherchant ton salut, pour ta parole juste.
124 Do something for me to show that you faithfully love [me], and teach me (your statutes/what you have decreed that we should do).
Traite ton serviteur selon ta bonté. Apprends-moi tes statuts.
125 I am one who serves you; enable me to understand [what you want me to know] in order that I will know (your requirements/what you have instructed us to do).
Je suis ton serviteur. Donne-moi l'intelligence, pour que je connaisse vos témoignages.
126 Yahweh, now is the time for you to [punish people] because they have disobeyed your laws.
Il est temps d'agir, Yahvé, car ils violent ta loi.
127 Truly, I love (your commands/what you have commanded) more than I love gold; I love them more than I love [very] pure gold.
C'est pourquoi j'aime tes commandements plus que l'or, oui, plus que de l'or pur.
128 So I conduct my life by (your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do), and I hate all the evil things that [some people do].
C'est pourquoi je considère que tous tes préceptes sont justes. Je déteste toutes les fausses routes. PE
129 (Your requirements are/All the things that you have instructed us to do are) wonderful, so I obey them with all my inner being.
Vos témoignages sont merveilleux, c'est pourquoi mon âme les garde.
130 When someone explains (your words/what you have said), [it is as though] they are lighting a light; what they say causes [even] people who have not learned your laws to be wise.
L'entrée de vos paroles donne de la lumière. Il donne de la compréhension aux simples.
131 I eagerly desire to know (your commands/what you have commanded), like [SIM] a [dog] that pants with its mouth open [wanting to be fed].
J'ai ouvert la bouche en grand et j'ai haleté, car je me languissais de tes commandements.

Tournez-vous vers moi, et ayez pitié de moi, comme tu le fais toujours à ceux qui aiment ton nom.
