Psalms 30
1 Yahweh, I praise you because you rescued me. You did not allow [me to die], [with the result that] my enemies could gloat/rejoice.
Un psaume. Un chant pour la dédicace du Temple. Par David. Je te célébrerai, Yahvé, car tu m'as relevé, et n'a pas permis à mes ennemis de se réjouir à mon sujet.
2 Yahweh, my God, I called out for you to help [me when I was ill], and you healed me.
Yahvé, mon Dieu, j'ai crié vers toi, et tu m'as guéri.
3 You saved/restored me when I was dying [MTY]. I was nearly dead, but you caused me to get well again. (Sheol h7585)
Yahvé, tu as fait sortir mon âme du séjour des morts. Tu m'as gardé en vie, pour que je ne descende pas dans la fosse. (Sheol h7585)
4 All you who belong to Yahweh, sing praise to him! Think about what [God], the holy one, has done, and thank him!
Chantez les louanges de Yahvé, vous qui êtes ses saints. Remerciez son saint nom.
5 When he becomes angry, he is angry for only a very short time [HYP], but he is good [to us] all of our life. We may cry during the night, but the next morning we will be joyful.
Car sa colère ne dure qu'un instant. Sa faveur est pour la vie. Les pleurs peuvent durer toute la nuit, mais la joie vient au matin.
6 As for me, when I had no troubles, I said [to myself], “No one will defeat me!”
Quant à moi, j'ai dit dans ma prospérité, « Je ne serai jamais ému. »
7 Yahweh, because you were good to me, at first you caused me to be safe [as though I was inside] [MET] a mountain. But then [I became ill, and I thought that] you had turned away from me, and I became afraid.
Toi, Yahvé, quand tu m'as favorisé, tu as rendu ma montagne forte; mais quand tu as caché ton visage, j'ai été troublé.
8 [Then] I called out to you, and I pleaded for you [to help me].
J'ai crié vers toi, Yahvé. J'ai fait des supplications au Seigneur:
9 [I said], “Yahweh, (what will you gain if I die?/ you won’t gain anything if I die) [MTY]. (In what way will it benefit you?/it won’t benefit you at all) if I go to the place where the dead people are [RHQ]. Dead people are certainly not able to praise you [RHQ], and they are not able to tell others that you are trustworthy [RHQ]!
« Quel avantage y a-t-il à me détruire, si je descends dans la fosse? La poussière te louera-t-elle? Devra-t-il déclarer votre vérité?
10 Yahweh, listen to me, and be merciful to me! Yahweh, help me!”
Écoute, Yahvé, et aie pitié de moi. Yahvé, sois mon aide. »
11 But [now you have healed me], and you have caused me to change from being sad to dancing [joyfully]. You have taken away the clothes that showed that I was very sad and you have given me clothes that showed that I was [very] joyful.
Tu as transformé mon deuil en danse pour moi. Tu as ôté mon sac, et tu m'as revêtu d'allégresse,
12 So I will not be silent; I will sing out [loudly] to praise you. Yahweh, you are my God, and I will thank you forever.
afin que mon cœur chante tes louanges et ne se taise pas. Yahvé mon Dieu, je te rendrai grâce pour toujours!
