Psalms 9
1 Yahweh, I will praise you with all of my inner being. I will tell [others] about all the wonderful things that you have done.
Au chef de musique. Sur Muth-Labben. Psaume de David. Je célébrerai l’Éternel de tout mon cœur; je raconterai toutes tes merveilles.
2 I will sing to celebrate what you [MTY], who are much greater than all other gods, [have done].
Je me réjouirai et je m’égaierai en toi; je chanterai ton nom, ô Très-haut!
3 When my enemies realize [that you are very powerful], they stumble, and then they are killed.
Quand mes ennemis sont retournés en arrière, ils ont bronché, et ont péri devant toi.
4 You sat on your throne to judge people, and you have judged fairly/justly concerning me.
Car tu as maintenu mon droit et ma cause; tu t’es assis sur le trône, toi qui juges justement.
5 You rebuked the [people of other] nations and you have gotten rid of the wicked people; you have erased their names forever.
Tu as tancé les nations, tu as fait périr le méchant; tu as effacé leur nom pour toujours et à perpétuité.
6 Our enemies have disappeared; you destroyed their cities, and people do not even remember them any more.
Ô ennemi! les dévastations sont venues à leur fin pour toujours. Tu as aussi rasé des villes, leur mémoire a péri avec elles.
7 But Yahweh rules forever. He judges [people while he sits] on his throne to judge people,
Mais l’Éternel est assis pour toujours; il a préparé son trône pour le jugement,
8 and he will judge [all the people in] [SYN] the world justly; he will judge the people [of all nations] fairly [DOU].
Et il jugera le monde avec justice, et exercera le jugement sur les peuples avec droiture.
9 Yahweh will be a refuge for those who are oppressed; [yes, he will be like] a shelter for them when they have trouble.
Et l’Éternel sera une haute retraite pour l’opprimé, une haute retraite dans les temps de détresse.
10 Those who know Yahweh [MTY] trust in him; he never abandons those who come to him ([for help/to worship him]).
Et ceux qui connaissent ton nom se confieront en toi; car tu n’as pas abandonné ceux qui te cherchent, ô Éternel!
11 Yahweh rules from Zion [Hill]; praise him while you sing to him. Tell [the people of all] the nations the [marvelous] things that he has done.
Chantez à l’Éternel qui habite en Sion, annoncez parmi les peuples ses [hauts] faits.
12 He does not forget [to punish] those who have murdered others; and he will not ignore people who are crying because they are suffering.
Car en recherchant le sang il se souvient d’eux; il n’oublie pas le cri des affligés.
13 Yahweh, be merciful to me! Look at the ways that my enemies have injured me. Do not allow me to die [because of these injuries].
Ô Éternel! use de grâce envers moi; regarde mon affliction [que je souffre] de la part de ceux qui me haïssent, toi qui me fais remonter des portes de la mort;
14 I want to live in order that I can praise you at the gates of Jerusalem [MTY] and to rejoice because you rescued me.
Afin que je raconte toutes tes louanges dans les portes de la fille de Sion. Je me réjouirai en ton salut.
15 [It is as though] the [wicked people of many] nations have dug a pit for me to fall into [MET], but they have fallen into that same pit. [It is as if] they spread out a net to catch me [MET], but their feet have been caught in that same net.
Les nations se sont enfoncées dans la fosse qu’elles ont faite; au filet même qu’elles ont caché, leur pied a été pris.
16 Because of what you have done, people know that you decide matters [fairly/justly], but [you allow] wicked people to be trapped by the same evil things that they themselves do.
L’Éternel s’est fait connaître par le jugement qu’il a exécuté; le méchant est enlacé dans l’œuvre de ses mains. Higgaïon. (Sélah)
17 Wicked people will all [die and] be buried in their graves, and [their spirits] will go to be with all those who have (forgotten about/rejected) you. (Sheol h7585)
Les méchants seront repoussés jusque dans le shéol, toutes les nations qui oublient Dieu; (Sheol h7585)
18 But you will not forget those who are needy/poor; what they confidently expect will certainly happen.
Car le pauvre ne sera pas oublié à jamais, l’attente des débonnaires ne périra pas pour toujours.
19 Yahweh, arise and judge the [wicked] people of the nations; do not allow them to think that [because they are strong] they will never be punished.
Lève-toi, Éternel! que l’homme ne prévale pas. Que les nations soient jugées devant ta face.
20 Yahweh, teach them to be terrified about you. Cause them to know that they are merely human beings.
Éternel! remplis-les de frayeur. Que les nations sachent qu’elles ne sont que des hommes. (Sélah)
