Psalms 84
1 Lord, you who are the Commander of the armies of angels, your temple is very beautiful!
Au maître chantre. En githith. Cantique des fils de Coré. Que tes demeures sont aimables, 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 cœur se pâme, il languit après les parvis de l'Éternel; mon âme et ma chair crient au 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 se trouve une demeure, et l'hirondelle un nid, où ils déposent leur couvée, près de tes autels, 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.
Heureux les habitants de ta maison! Ils te louent encore. (Pause)
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 l'homme dont tu es le soutien, et que son cœur porte à s'acheminer vers toi!
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.
Traversant la vallée des pleurs, il la trouve pour lui arrosée de fontaines, et la pluie d'automne la couvre d'abondance.
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).
Il chemine, et ses forces augmentent: il se présente enfin 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! Prête l'oreille, Dieu de Jacob! (Pause)
9 God, be kind to [IDM] our king, the one who protects us [MTY], the one whom you have chosen [MTY] [to rule us].
O notre bouclier, regarde, ô Dieu, abaisse un regard sur 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 mieux vaut un jour dans tes parvis, que mille autres; j'aime mieux me tenir au seuil de la maison de mon Dieu, que d'habiter les tentes de l'impiété.
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 donne grâce et magnificence, ne refuse aucun bien à qui suit la droiture.
12 Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, (happy are/you are pleased with) those who trust in you!
Éternel des armées, heureux l'homme qui se confie en toi!
