< 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 des chantres. Sur ledouthoun. Psaume de David. Mon âme, mets toute ton attente en Dieu, 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, mon soutien, mon boulevard: je ne trébucherai pas sérieusement.
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].
Jusqu’à quand vous ruerez-vous contre un homme, lui porterez-vous tous des coups mortels, tels un mur penché, une cloison qui s’écroule?
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].
Oui, ils projettent 'de le précipiter de sa hauteur, ils se complaisent dans le mensonge; avec leur bouche ils bénissent, et dans leur cœur 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].
En Dieu seul mets ton attente, ô mon âme; car en lul est mon espoir.
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, mon soutien, mon boulevard; je ne trébucherai point.
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, mon bonheur; il est mon puissant rocher, mon abri 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].
Fiez-vous en lui en tout temps, ô peuples! Epanchez votre cœur devant lui: Dieu est un refuge pour nous. (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.
Certes, les fils d’Adam ne sont qu’une ombre vaine, les fils de l’homme qu’une déception. Qu’on les mette sur la balance: ensemble ils pèsent autant qu’un souffle!
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.
Ne mettez pas votre confiance dans la concussion, et dans! a rapine ne placez pas un vain espoir. Dût la richesse couler à pleins bords, n’y attachez pas trop d’importance.
11 I have heard God say more than once that he is the one who [really] has power,
Une fois Dieu l’a énoncé, deux fois je l’ai entendu: que la puissance appartient 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.
Oui, Seigneur, tienne est la bonté, car tu rémunères chacun selon son œuvre.
