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 “Meurs pour le fils”. Psaume de David. Je louerai 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 ferai de toi le sujet de ma joie et de mon allégresse, Je chanterai ton nom, Dieu Très-Haut!
3 When my enemies realize [that you are very powerful], they stumble, and then they are killed.
Mes ennemis reculent, Ils chancellent, ils périssent devant ta face.
4 You sat on your throne to judge people, and you have judged fairly/justly concerning me.
Car tu soutiens mon droit et ma cause, Tu sièges sur ton trône en juste juge.
5 You rebuked the [people of other] nations and you have gotten rid of the wicked people; you have erased their names forever.
Tu châties les nations, tu détruis le méchant, Tu effaces 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.
Plus d’ennemis! Des ruines éternelles! Des villes que tu as renversées! Leur souvenir est anéanti.
7 But Yahweh rules forever. He judges [people while he sits] on his throne to judge people,
L’Éternel règne à jamais, Il a dressé 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].
Il juge le monde avec justice, Il juge 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.
L’Éternel est un refuge pour l’opprimé, Un refuge au temps de la détresse.
10 Those who know Yahweh [MTY] trust in him; he never abandons those who come to him ([for help/to worship him]).
Ceux qui connaissent ton nom se confient en toi. Car tu n’abandonnes pas 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 réside en Sion, Publiez 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 venge le sang et se souvient des malheureux, Il n’oublie pas leurs cris.
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, Éternel! Vois la misère où me réduisent mes ennemis, Enlève-moi 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 publie toutes tes louanges, Dans les portes de la fille de Sion, Et que je me réjouisse de 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 tombent dans la fosse qu’elles ont faite, Leur pied se prend au filet qu’elles ont caché.
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 se montre, il fait justice, Il enlace le méchant dans l’œuvre de ses mains. Jeu d’instruments. (Pause)
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 se tournent vers le séjour des morts, 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 malheureux n’est point oublié à jamais, L’espérance des misérables ne périt pas à 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, ô Éternel! Que l’homme ne triomphe 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.
Frappe-les d’épouvante, ô Éternel! Que les peuples sachent qu’ils sont des hommes! (Pause)
