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. O Dieu, écoute ma voix, quand je gémis! Protège ma vie contre l’ennemi que je crains!
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.
Garantis-moi des complots des méchants, De la troupe bruyante des hommes iniques!
3 The hostile things they say [MTY] are like [SIM] [sharp] swords; their cruel words are like [SIM] arrows.
Ils aiguisent leur langue comme un glaive, Ils lancent comme des traits leurs 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].
Pour tirer en cachette sur l’innocent; Ils tirent sur lui à l’improviste, et n’ont aucune crainte.
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 se fortifient dans leur méchanceté: Ils se concertent pour tendre des pièges, Ils disent: 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 méditent des crimes: Nous voici prêts, le plan est conçu! La pensée intime, le cœur de chacun est un abîme.
7 But [it will be as though] God will shoot his arrows at them, and suddenly they will be wounded.
Dieu lance contre eux ses traits: Soudain les voilà frappés.
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 langue a causé leur chute; Tous ceux qui les voient secouent 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 sont saisis de crainte, Ils publient ce que Dieu fait, Et prennent garde à son œuvre.
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 se réjouit en l’Éternel et cherche en lui son refuge, Tous ceux qui ont le cœur droit se glorifient.
