< Psalms 62 >
1 God is the only one who can give me peace in my inner being, and he is the one who saves me [from my enemies].
Au chef de musique. Sur Jeduthun. Psaume de David. Sur Dieu seul mon âme se repose paisiblement; de lui vient mon salut.
2 Only he is like an [overhanging] rock [under which I can be safe] [MET]; he will be [like] a shelter, [with the result that] I will never be defeated [MET].
Lui seul est mon rocher et mon salut, ma haute retraite; je ne serai pas beaucoup ébranlé.
3 When will you, [my enemies], stop attacking me [RHQ]? I feel that I am [as useless against you as] a wall that is about to fall over or a broken-down fence [MET].
Jusques à quand vous jetterez-vous sur un homme, [et chercherez]-vous tous à le renverser comme une muraille qui penche, comme un mur qui va crouler?
4 My enemies plan to remove me from my important position so that people no longer honor me. They delight in telling lies. They bless people by what they say [MTY], but in their inner beings they curse [those people].
Ils ne consultent que pour [le] précipiter de son élévation; ils prennent plaisir au mensonge; ils bénissent de leur bouche, et intérieurement ils maudissent. (Sélah)
5 God is the only one who gives me peace in my inner being; he is the one whom I confidently expect [to help me].
Mais toi, mon âme, repose-toi paisiblement sur Dieu; car mon attente est en lui.
6 Only he is [like an overhanging] rock [under which I can be safe] [MET]; he is [like] a shelter, and [as a result] I will never be defeated.
Lui seul est mon rocher et mon salut, ma haute retraite: je ne serai pas ébranlé.
7 God is the one who saves me and honors me. He is [like an overhanging] strong rock under which I [can] find shelter [MET].
Sur Dieu [reposent] mon salut et ma gloire; le rocher de ma force, mon refuge, est en Dieu.
8 [You my] people, always trust in him. Tell him all your troubles, because he is (our refuge/the one who protects us) [MET].
Peuple, – confiez-vous en lui en tout temps, répandez votre cœur devant lui: Dieu est notre refuge. (Sélah)
9 People who are considered to be unimportant are [as worthless/unreliable as] a breath of air; people who are considered to be important [also] really (amount to nothing/cannot be trusted [to help us)]. If you put them all on a scale, [it would be as if] they weighed less than a puff of air.
Les fils des gens du commun ne sont que vanité, les fils des grands ne sont que mensonge: placés dans la balance, ils montent ensemble plus [légers] que la vanité.
10 Do not trust in money gained by extorting it from others; do not try to gain anything by robbing others. If you become very wealthy, do not trust in [IDM] your money.
N’ayez pas confiance dans l’oppression, et ne mettez pas un vain espoir dans la rapine; si les biens augmentent, n’y mettez pas votre cœur.
11 I have heard God say more than once that he is the one who [really] has power,
Dieu a parlé une fois; … deux fois j’ai entendu ceci, que la force est à Dieu.
12 and that he is the one who faithfully loves [us]. He rewards every one [of us] according to the deeds that we do.
Et à toi, Seigneur, est la bonté; car toi tu rends à chacun selon son œuvre.
