Psalms 84
1 Lord, you who are the Commander of the armies of angels, your temple is very beautiful!
Au chef de musique. Sur Guitthith. Des fils de Coré. Psaume. Combien sont aimables tes demeures, ô Éternel 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 désire, et même elle languit après les parvis de l’Éternel; mon cœur et ma chair crient après 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 a trouvé une maison, et l’hirondelle un nid pour elle, où elle a mis ses petits: … tes autels, ô Éternel 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.
Bienheureux ceux qui habitent dans ta maison; ils te loueront sans cesse! (Sélah)
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].
Bienheureux l’homme dont la force est en toi, [et ceux] dans le cœur desquels sont les chemins frayés!
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.
Passant par la vallée de Baca, ils en font une fontaine; la pluie aussi la couvre 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).
Ils marchent de force en force, ils paraissent devant Dieu en 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!
Éternel, Dieu des armées! écoute ma prière; Dieu de Jacob! prête l’oreille. (Sélah)
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, 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. J’aimerais mieux me tenir sur le seuil dans la maison de mon Dieu, que de demeurer dans les tentes de la méchanceté.
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 l’Éternel Dieu est un soleil et un bouclier; l’Éternel donnera la grâce et la gloire; il ne refusera aucun bien à ceux qui marchent dans l’intégrité.
12 Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, (happy are/you are pleased with) those who trust in you!
Éternel des armées! bienheureux l’homme qui se confie en toi!
