Psalms 64
1 God, listen to me as I tell you the things that I am worried about. I am afraid of my enemies; so save/rescue me from them.
Au chef des chantres. Psaume de David. Ecoute, ô Dieu, ma voix lorsque je me plains, préserve ma vie de la crainte de l’ennemi.
2 Protect me from what wicked men are planning to do to me; protect me from that gang of men who do what is evil.
Protège-moi contre le complot des malfaiteurs, contre le tumulte des artisans d’iniquité,
3 The hostile things they say [MTY] are like [SIM] [sharp] swords; their cruel words are like [SIM] arrows.
qui aiguisent leur langue comme un glaive, décochent comme des flèches des paroles amères,
4 Without being afraid, they [lie about people and slander people] who have not done what is wrong, like someone who suddenly jumps up from where he is hiding and shoots [arrows] at his enemy [MET].
tirant en secret sur l’homme intègre, la visant soudainement, sans rien craindre.
5 They encourage each other about doing the evil things that they are planning to do; they talk [with each other] about where they can set traps to catch people, and they think, “No one [RHQ] will see what we are doing,
ils s’affermissent dans leurs funestes desseins, se vantent hautement de dresser des embûches, se demandant qui les verra.
6 because we have planned very well the crime that we are going to commit!” No one can fully understand what people can think and plan!
Ils s’ingénient à inventer de mauvais coups, exécutent des plans bien médités: l’être intime de l’homme, son cœur, est insondable.
7 But [it will be as though] God will shoot his arrows at them, and suddenly they will be wounded.
Mais Dieu les atteint; à l’improviste ses flèches leur infligent des blessures.
8 Because of what they say [MTY], he will get rid of them, and then everyone who sees [what has happened to] them will shake their heads [to ridicule them].
Leur propre langue prépare leur chute; quiconque les aperçoit hoche la tête.
9 And then everyone will be afraid [to sin because of what might happen to them, also]; they will tell others what God has done, and they themselves will think much about it.
Tous les hommes en seront saisis de crainte; ils proclameront l’œuvre de Dieu, et comprendront le sens de ses actes.
10 Righteous people should rejoice because of what Yahweh [has done]; they should go to him to (find protection/be safe); and all those who are godly will praise him.
Le juste aura sa joie en l’Eternel et se mettra sous son abri, et tous les cœurs droits pourront se féliciter.
