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 des chantres. Sur Mout-Labbén. Psaume de David. Je rends grâce à l’Eternel de tout mon cœur, je veux proclamer toutes tes merveilles,
2 I will sing to celebrate what you [MTY], who are much greater than all other gods, [have done].
je veux me réjouir et exulter en toi, chanter ton nom, Dieu suprême,
3 When my enemies realize [that you are very powerful], they stumble, and then they are killed.
alors que mes ennemis lâchent pied et reculent, qu’ils trébuchent et périssent sous tes coups.
4 You sat on your throne to judge people, and you have judged fairly/justly concerning me.
Oui, tu as fait triompher mon droit, ma cause, pris place sur ton trône en juge équitable.
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 réprimandé les peuples, perdu l’impie: leur nom, tu l’as effacé à tout jamais.
6 Our enemies have disappeared; you destroyed their cities, and people do not even remember them any more.
O l’ennemi! C’En est fini pour toujours des ruines; plus de villes démolies par toi! C’Est leur souvenir à eux qui disparaît.
7 But Yahweh rules forever. He judges [people while he sits] on his throne to judge people,
Mais le Seigneur demeure éternellement, il a établi son trône pour la justice.
8 and he will judge [all the people in] [SYN] the world justly; he will judge the people [of all nations] fairly [DOU].
Oui, c’est lui qui juge le monde avec équité, il prononce sur les nations 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.
Que l’Eternel soit donc un abri pour l’opprimé, un abri 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]).
Ainsi se confient en toi ceux qui connaissent ton nom; car tu ne délaisses point, ô Seigneur, ceux qui te recherchent.
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.
Célébrez l’Eternel qui siège à Sion; proclamez 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 il demande compte du sang versé, il en conserve le souvenir, il n’oublie point le cri des humbles.
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].
Sois-moi propice, Seigneur! Vois quelle est ma misère du fait de mes ennemis, toi qui me retires 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 puisse proclamer tes louanges aux portes de la fille de Sion et me réjouir de ton secours.
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.
Que les peuples s’enfoncent dans la fosse qu’ils ont creusée, que leur pied s’embarrasse dans le filet qu’ils ont dissimulé!
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’Eternel s’est manifesté, il a exercé la justice; le méchant est pris au piège par ses propres œuvres. Higayon, (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)
Qu’ils rentrent dans le Cheol, les impies! Tous les peuples oublieux de Dieu! (Sheol h7585)
18 But you will not forget those who are needy/poor; what they confidently expect will certainly happen.
Car le pauvre n’est pas oublié sans retour, l’espoir des humbles n’est pas perdu à jamais.
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, Seigneur! Que le mortel ne triomphe pas! Que les peuples soient appelés en jugement devant toi!
20 Yahweh, teach them to be terrified about you. Cause them to know that they are merely human beings.
Inspire-leur, ô Eternel, la terreur: que les peuples sachent qu’ils sont de faibles mortels! (Sélah)
