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.

O Dieu, écoute ma voix quand je parle; garantis ma vie contre l'ennemi qui m'épouvante!

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.

Mets-moi à couvert du complot des méchants, du tumulte des ouvriers 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 une épée, qui ajustent comme une flèche leur parole amère,

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 secret sur l'innocent; ils tirent soudain contre lui, et n'ont point de 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 s'affermissent dans un mauvais dessein; ils ne parlent que de cacher des pièges; ils disent: Qui le 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 inventent des fraudes: Nous voilà prêts; le plan est formé! Et leur pensée secrète, 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.

Mais Dieu leur lance une flèche; 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].

Ceux que leur langue attaquait, les ont renversés; tous ceux qui les voient hochent 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.

Les hommes sont tous saisis de crainte; ils racontent l'œuvre de Dieu, et considèrent ce qu'il a fait.

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 réjouira en l'Éternel, et se retirera vers lui; tous ceux qui ont le cœur droit s'en glorifieront.
