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 maître chantre, préposé aux Jéduthunites. Cantique de David. Oui, c'est Dieu que mon âme attend en silence: de Lui me viendra le secours.
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].
Oui, Il est mon rocher et mon secours, mon boulevard: je ne serai pas ébranlé beaucoup.
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 fondrez-vous sur un homme, voulez-vous tous le mettre en pièces, comme une cloison qui penche, un mur que l'on bat?
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 méditent de le précipiter du faîte où il est, ils se plaisent à mentir; de leur bouche ils bénissent, et dans leur cœur ils maudissent. (Pause)
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].
Oui, en Dieu, ô mon âme, espère en silence! car Il est pour moi la source de l'espérance.
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.
Oui, Il est mon rocher et mon secours, mon boulevard: je ne serai point 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; mon rocher protecteur, 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, en Lui confiez-vous toujours, répandez devant Lui vos cœurs! Dieu est notre refuge!
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 hommes ne sont qu'un néant, et les mortels un mensonge; dans la balance ils s'élèvent, ils ne sont rien tous ensemble.
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 vous confiez point dans l'oppression, et dans la rapine ne mettez pas un vain espoir! Si les biens s'accroissent, n'en soyez point émus!
11 I have heard God say more than once that he is the one who [really] has power,
Il est une chose que Dieu a dite, deux que j'ai ouïes, c'est que la puissance 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 tu es aussi, Seigneur, le maître de la grâce; car tu rends à chacun selon ses œuvres.
