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. — Selon Jéduthun. — Psaume de David. Mon âme se repose en paix sur Dieu seul; C'est de lui que 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].
Seul il est mon rocher, 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. Pour l'abattre tous ensemble. Comme un mur qui penche. Comme une clôture qu'on renverse?
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 pensent qu'à le faire tomber du poste où il s'est élevé; Ils se plaisent au mensonge. De leur bouche ils bénissent. Mais au fond du coeur 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, sur Dieu seul mon âme se repose en paix; Car mon espoir 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.
Seul, il est mon rocher, mon salut. Ma haute retraite: 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].
C'est de Dieu que j'attends mon salut et ma gloire: Dieu est mon rocher protecteur; mon refuge est en lui.
8 [You my] people, always trust in him. Tell him all your troubles, because he is (our refuge/the one who protects us) [MET].
Peuples, confiez-vous en lui en tout temps! Répandez devant lui votre coeur: Dieu est notre refuge! (Pause)
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 petits ne sont que néant; Les grands ne sont que mensonge: Placés dans la balance, Ils pèseraient tous ensemble moins que le néant même.
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 violence; Ne mettez pas un vain espoir dans la rapine. Si vos richesses abondent, N'y attachez pas votre coeur!
11 I have heard God say more than once that he is the one who [really] has power,
Dieu a dit une fois. Et j'ai entendu sa voix redire encore: «La force 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.
A toi aussi, Seigneur, la miséricorde! Tu rendras à chacun selon ses oeuvres.
