Psalms 130

1 Yahweh, I have a lot of troubles/many difficulties, so I call out to you.

Cantique des degrés. Je t’ai invoqué des lieux profonds, ô Éternel!

2 Yahweh, hear me, while I call out to you [SYN] to be merciful to me!

Seigneur! écoute ma voix; que tes oreilles soient attentives à la voix de mes supplications.

3 Yahweh, if you kept a record of the sins [that we have committed], not one [of us] [RHQ] would escape from being condemned [and punished]

Ô Jah! si tu prends garde aux iniquités, Seigneur, qui subsistera?

4 But you forgive us, with the result that we greatly revere you.

Mais il y a pardon auprès de toi, afin que tu sois craint.

5 Yahweh has said [that he would help/rescue me]; I trust what he said, and I wait eagerly for him to do that.

J’ai attendu l’Éternel; mon âme l’a attendu, et j’ai eu mon attente en sa parole.

6 I wait for Yahweh [to help me] more than watchmen wait for the light to dawn; yes, I wait more eagerly than they do!

Mon âme [attend] le Seigneur, plus que les sentinelles [n’attendent] le matin, que les sentinelles [n’attendent] le matin.

7 You [my fellow] Israelis, confidently expect that Yahweh [will bless us]. [He will bless us] because he faithfully loves [us], and he is very willing to save/rescue [us].

Israël, attends-toi à l’Éternel; car auprès de l’Éternel est la bonté, et il y a rédemption en abondance auprès de lui;

8 And he will save us Israeli [people] from [being punished for] all the sins that [we] have committed.

Et lui rachètera Israël de toutes ses iniquités.
