Psalms 17
1 Yahweh, listen to me while I plead with you to act justly toward me. Hear me while I call out to you to help me. Pay attention to what I say while I pray because I am speaking [MTY] honestly/truthfully.
Requête de David. Eternel! écoute ma juste cause, sois attentif à mon cri, prête l'oreille à ma requête, [laquelle je te fais] sans qu'il y ait de fraude en mes lèvres.
2 You are the one who is able to declare that I (am innocent/have not done anything that was wrong) because you see/know that I am telling the truth.
Que mon droit sorte de ta présence, que tes yeux regardent à la justice.
3 You know what I think, [even] at night; you have examined what I say and do, and you know that I have determined to never tell any lies.
Tu as sondé mon cœur, tu [l']as visité de nuit, tu m'as examiné, tu n'as rien trouvé; ma pensée ne va point au-delà de ma parole.
4 I have not done like others do; I have always done what is right [IDM], and I have not acted cruelly toward others.
Quant aux actions des hommes, selon la parole de tes lèvres, je me suis donné garde de la conduite de l'homme violent.
5 I have always done what you told me to do [IDM], I have (never failed to do/always done) [LIT] those things.
Ayant affermi mes pas en tes sentiers, les plantes de mes pieds n'ont point chancelé.
6 O God, I pray to you because you answer me; please listen [MTY] to what I am saying.
Ô [Dieu] Fort! je t'invoque, parce que tu as accoutumé de m'exaucer; incline ton oreille vers moi, écoute mes paroles.
7 Show me that you faithfully love me. By your great power [MTY] rescue those who (run to/trust in) you to protect them from their enemies.
Rends admirables tes gratuités, toi qui délivres ceux qui se retirent vers toi de devant ceux qui s'élèvent contre ta droite.
8 Protect me as people carefully protect their own eyes; protect me like [birds] protect [their babies] under their wings [MET].
Garde-moi comme la prunelle de l'œil, [et] me cache sous l'ombre de tes ailes;
9 Do not allow wicked people to attack me; my enemies surround me, wanting to kill me.
De devant ces méchants qui m'ont pillé; et de mes ennemis mortels, qui m'environnent.
10 They never pity [IDM] anyone, and they are always boasting.
La graisse leur cache le visage; ils parlent fièrement de leur bouche.
11 They have hunted/searched for me and found me. They surround me, watching for an opportunity to throw me to the ground.
Maintenant, ils nous environnent à chaque pas que nous faisons; ils jettent leur regard pour nous étendre par terre.
12 They are like lions [SIM] that are ready to tear apart the animals that they capture; they are like young lions that are hiding, waiting to pounce [on their prey].
Il ressemble au lion qui ne demande qu'à déchirer, et au lionceau qui se tient dans les lieux cachés.
13 Yahweh, come and (oppose/fight against) my enemies and defeat them! Use your sword to save me from those wicked people!
Lève-toi, ô Eternel, devance-le, renverse-le; délivre mon âme du méchant [par] ton épée.
14 Yahweh, by your power [MTY] rescue me from those people who are interested [only] in things here in this world. But you provide plenty of food for those whom you love dearly; their children also have many things that their grandchildren will inherit.
Eternel, [délivre-moi par] ta main de ces gens, des gens du monde, desquels le partage est en cette vie, et dont tu remplis le ventre de tes provisions; leurs enfants sont rassasiés, et ils laissent leurs restes à leurs petits enfants.
15 Yahweh, because I act righteously, I will [some day] see you [SYN]. When I awake, I will see you face-to-face, and then I will be happy.
[Mais] moi, je verrai ta face en justice, et je serai rassasié de ta ressemblance, quand je serai réveillé.
