Psalms 36
1 [Wicked people continually desire to] sin. They consider [IDM] that they do not need to revere God.
Au chef des chantres. Par le serviteur de l’Eternel, par David. Au fond de mon cœur je sens ce que le Péché insinue au méchant: "Qu’il n’ait nulle crainte de Dieu devant les yeux!"
2 Because they are very proud, they do not think that God will discover their sins and condemn them (OR, they do not think about their sins and hate themselves for it).
Oui, il lui adresse des regards séducteurs, de façon à provoquer son iniquité, qu’il faudrait haïr.
3 [Everything] that they say is deceitful and full of lies; they no longer do what is good and are no longer wise.
Les paroles de sa bouche ne sont que fausseté et perfidie, il renonce à être sage, à bien agir.
4 While they are lying on their beds, they plan to do things to harm [others]; they are determined to do things that are not good, and they never refuse [to do what is] evil.
Sur sa couche il machine la fraude; il s’engage sur un chemin qui n’est pas bon, il n’a pas l’horreur du mal.
5 Yahweh, your faithful love for us reaches as high as the heavens, you faithfully [do what you have promised]; [it is as though your doing that] extends up to the clouds.
Eternel, ta grâce atteint jusqu’aux cieux, ta fidélité jusqu’aux nues.
6 Your righteous behavior is [as permanent as] the highest mountains [MET], your acting justly [will continue as long as] the deepest oceans [exist]. You take care of people and you take care of animals.
Ta justice est comme les montagnes puissantes, tes arrêts sont comme l’immense abîme: aux hommes et aux bêtes, tu es secourable, Eternel!
7 God, your faithful love for us is very precious. You protect us like birds protect their baby birds under their wings [MET].
Combien précieuse est ta grâce, ô Dieu! Les fils de l’homme s’abritent à l’ombre de tes ailes.
8 You provide for us plenty of food from the abundant supply [IDM] that you have; your great blessings for us [flow] like a river.
Ils sont rassasiés de l’abondance de ta maison; tu les abreuves du fleuve de tes délices.
9 You are the one who causes everything to live; your light is what enables us to see.
Car près de toi est la source de vie; à ta lumière nous voyons le jour.
10 Continue to faithfully love those who have experienced a relationship with you, and bless those who act righteously/justly.
Etends ta bonté sur ceux qui te connaissent, et ta bienveillance sur les cœurs droits.
11 Do not allow proud people [SYN] to attack me, or allow wicked people to chase me away.
Que le pied de l’orgueil ne m’atteigne point; que la main des méchants ne me mette point en fuite!
12 Look where evil people have fallen on the ground, defeated; they were thrown down, and they will never rise again.
Au contraire, qu’ils tombent, les malfaiteurs; qu’ils soient renversés sans pouvoir se relever!
