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.
Jusqu'à la Fin, un psaume de David, au sujet des secrets du Fils. Je te rendrai gloire, ô mon Dieu, de tout mon cœur; je raconterai 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 tressaillirai en toi; je chanterai ton nom, Dieu Très-Haut.
3 When my enemies realize [that you are very powerful], they stumble, and then they are killed.
Parce que tu as réduit mes ennemis à tourner le dos; ils seront abattus et périront devant ta face.
4 You sat on your throne to judge people, and you have judged fairly/justly concerning me.
Car tu as jugé ma cause sur ton trône, ô toi qui juges selon la justice.
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 repris les nations, et l'impie a péri; tu as effacé leur nom à jamais pour tous les siècles des siècles.
6 Our enemies have disappeared; you destroyed their cities, and people do not even remember them any more.
Les glaives de l'ennemi ont été brisés pour toujours; et tu as détruit leur cité. Leur souvenir s'est éteint avec fracas.
7 But Yahweh rules forever. He judges [people while he sits] on his throne to judge people,
Mais le Seigneur subsiste éternellement. Il a préparé son siège pour juger.
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 lui-même toute la terre selon l'équité; il jugera les peuples selon la justice.
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 le Seigneur s'est fait le refuge du pauvre, son défenseur en son affliction, au temps opportun.
10 Those who know Yahweh [MTY] trust in him; he never abandons those who come to him ([for help/to worship him]).
Que ceux qui connaissent ton nom espèrent en toi, ô Seigneur; car tu n'as point délaissé ceux qui te cherchent.
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 un hymne au Seigneur, qui demeure en Sion; faites connaître aux Gentils les soins qui l'occupent.
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 s'est souvenu d'eux, quand il a recherché leur sang; il n'a point oublié la prière des pauvres.
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].
Aie pitié de moi, Seigneur; vois mon humiliation causée par mes ennemis, toi qui m'as relevé 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 j'annonce toutes tes louanges aux portes de la fille de Sion. Je me réjouirai dans le salut qui vient de toi.
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 ont été saisies par la mort, qu'elles avaient préparée; leur pied s'est pris dans le filet même qu'elles avaient tendu.
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.
On reconnaîtra le Seigneur à ses jugements; le pécheur est enlacé dans les œuvres de ses mains.
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)
Que les pécheurs soient précipités dans l'enfer, et 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 mendiant ne sera pas toujours en oubli; la patience des pauvres ne sera point perdue 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, Seigneur, de peur que l'homme ne s'affermisse; que les nations soient jugées devant toi.
20 Yahweh, teach them to be terrified about you. Cause them to know that they are merely human beings.
Seigneur, mets sur eux un législateur; afin que les Gentils apprennent qu'ils sont hommes. (Changement de rythme.)
