Psalms 141
1 Yahweh, I call out to you; [please] help me quickly! Listen to me when I am calling to you.
Psaume de David.
2 Accept my prayer as though it were incense [being burned as an offering] [SIM] to you. And accept me while I lift up my hands [to pray] to you like you accept sacrifices [that I offer to you each] evening [SIM].
Que ma prière soit dirigée comme un encens en votre présence: que l’élévation de mes mains soit un sacrifice du soir.
3 Yahweh, do not allow me to say [MTY] things that are wrong; guard my lips.
Mettez, Seigneur, une garde à ma bouche, et une porte autour de mes lèvres.
4 Prevent me from wanting to do anything that is wrong, and from joining with wicked men when they want to do evil deeds [DOU]. Do not [even] allow me to share in eating delightful food with them!
N’inclinez pas mon cœur à des paroles de malice, pour prétexter des excuses à mes péchés,
5 It is all right if righteous people strike/hit me or rebuke me because they are trying to act kindly toward me [to teach me to do what is right], but I do not want wicked [people] to [honor me by] anointing my head with [olive] oil; I am always praying [that you will punish them because of] the wicked deeds [that they do].
Le juste me reprendra dans sa bonté, et il me corrigera; mais l’huile d’un pécheur ne parfumera pas ma tête.
6 When their rulers are thrown down from the top of rocky cliffs, people will know that what you, Yahweh, said [about them] is true.
Attachés à une pierre, leurs juges ont été précipités. Ils écouteront mes paroles, parce qu’elles sont puissantes;
7 Like a log that is split and cut into small pieces [SIM], their shattered bones will be scattered [on the ground] near [other] graves. (Sheol h7585)
Comme une terre compacte, rompue par le soc, se répand sur la terre, (Sheol h7585)
8 But Yahweh God, I [continue to] ask you [to help me]. I ask you to protect me; do not allow me to (die/be killed) [now]!
Parce que vers vous, Seigneur, Seigneur, se sont élevés mes yeux; qu’en vous j’ai espéré, ne m’ôtez pas mon âme.
9 [It is as though] people have set traps for me; protect me from falling into those traps, [It is as though] they have spread nets to catch me; keep me from being caught in those nets.
Gardez-moi du lacs qu’ils m’ont dressé, et des pierres d’achoppement de ceux qui opèrent l’iniquité.
10 I desire that wicked [people] will fall into the traps they have set [to catch me] while I escape [from them].
Les pécheurs tomberont dans son filet: pour moi, je suis seul, jusqu’à ce que je passe.
