Psalms 146
1 Praise Yahweh! With my whole inner being I will praise Yahweh.
Louez l'Éternel! Mon âme, loue l'Éternel!
2 I will praise Yahweh as long as I am alive; I will sing to praise my God for [the rest of] my life.
Je louerai l'Éternel tant que je vivrai; je célébrerai mon Dieu tant que j'existerai.
3 [You people], do not trust in your leaders; do not trust humans because they cannot save/rescue you [from your difficulties/problems].
Ne vous confiez pas dans les grands, ni dans aucun fils d'homme, qui ne saurait délivrer.
4 And when they die, their corpses [decay and] become soil again. After they die, they can no longer do the things that they planned to do.
Son souffle s'en va, il retourne à sa terre, et en ce jour-là ses desseins périssent.
5 But those whose helper is the God whom Jacob [worshiped] are happy. The one whom they confidently expect [to help them] is Yahweh, their God.
Heureux celui qui a le Dieu de Jacob pour aide, et dont l'attente est en l'Éternel son Dieu,
6 He is the one who created heaven and the earth and the oceans and all [the creatures] that are in them. He always does what he has promised to do.
Qui a fait les cieux et la terre, la mer et tout ce qui y est; qui garde la fidélité à toujours;
7 He decides matters fairly for those who are (treated unfairly/oppressed), and he provides food for those who are hungry. He frees those who are in prison.
Qui fait droit à ceux qui sont opprimés, qui donne du pain à ceux qui ont faim!
8 Yahweh enables those who are blind to see again. He lifts up those who have fallen down. He loves righteous [people].
L'Éternel délie les captifs; l'Éternel ouvre les yeux des aveugles; l'Éternel redresse ceux qui sont courbés; l'Éternel aime les justes.
9 Yahweh takes care of those from other countries who live in our land, and he helps widows and orphans. But he gets rid of wicked [people].
L'Éternel garde les étrangers; il soutient l'orphelin et la veuve; mais il renverse la voie des méchants.
10 Yahweh will [continue to] be our king forever; you people of Israel, your God will rule forever! Praise Yahweh!
L'Éternel régnera éternellement. O Sion, ton Dieu est d'âge en âge! Louez l'Éternel!
