Psalms 84
1 Lord, you who are the Commander of the armies of angels, your temple is very beautiful!
Au maître de chant. Sur la Gitthienne. Psaume des fils de Coré. Que tes demeures sont aimables, Yahweh des armées!
2 I [SYN] would like to be there; Yahweh, I desire that very much [DOU]. With all of my inner being I sing joyfully to you, the all-powerful God.
Mon âme s'épuise en soupirant après les parvis de Yahweh; mon cœur et ma chair tressaillent vers le Dieu vivant.
3 Even sparrows and swallows have built nests [near your temple, where you protect them] [DOU]; they take care of their young babies near the altars [where people offer sacrifices to] you, who are the commander of the armies of heaven, and my king and my God.
Le passereau même trouve une demeure, et l'hirondelle un nid où elle repose ses petits: Tes autels, Yahweh des armées, mon roi et mon Dieu!
4 (Happy are/You are pleased with) those who (live/continually worship) in your temple, constantly singing to praise you.
Heureux ceux qui habitent ta maison! Ils peuvent te louer encore. — Séla.
5 Happy are those who [know that] you are the one who causes them to be strong, those who strongly desire to (make the trip/go) to Zion [Hill].
Heureux les hommes qui ont en toi leur force; ils ne pensent qu'aux saintes montées.
6 While they travel through the [dry] Baca Valley, [you cause] it to become a place where there are springs of water, where the rains (in the autumn/before the cold season) fill the valley with pools of water.
Lorsqu'ils traversent la vallée des Larmes ils la changent en un lieu plein de sources, et la pluie d'automne la couvre aussi de bénédictions.
7 [As a result, those who travel through there] become stronger/refreshed [knowing that] they will appear in your presence (on Zion [Hill]/in Jerusalem).
Pendant la marche s'accroît la vigueur, et ils paraissent devant Dieu à Sion:
8 Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, listen to my prayer; God, who [is worshiped by us (descendants of] Jacob/Israeli people), hear [IDM] what I am saying!
" Yahweh, Dieu des armées, disent-ils, écoute ma prière; prête l'oreille, Dieu de Jacob. " — Séla.
9 God, be kind to [IDM] our king, the one who protects us [MTY], the one whom you have chosen [MTY] [to rule us].
Toi qui es notre bouclier, vois, ô Dieu, et regarde la face de ton Oint!
10 [For me], spending one day in your temple is better than spending 1,000 days somewhere else; [standing] at the entrance to your temple, [ready to go inside], is better than living in the tents/homes where wicked [people live].
Car un jour dans tes parvis vaut mieux que mille; je préfère me tenir sur le seuil de la maison de mon Dieu, plutôt que d'habiter sous les tentes des méchants.
11 Yahweh our God is [like] the sun [that shines on us] and [like] a shield [that protects us] [MET]; he is kind to [us] and honors [us]. Yahweh does not refuse to give any good thing/blessing to those who do what is right.
Car Yahweh Dieu est un soleil et un bouclier; Yahweh donne la grâce et la gloire, il ne refuse aucun bien à ceux qui marchent dans l'innocence.
12 Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, (happy are/you are pleased with) those who trust in you!
Yahweh des armées, heureux celui qui se confie en toi!
