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.
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 m'égaierai, je me réjouirai en toi, je chanterai ton nom, ô Dieu Très-Haut!
3 When my enemies realize [that you are very powerful], they stumble, and then they are killed.
Parce que mes ennemis reculent en arrière, qu'ils tombent et périssent devant ta face.
4 You sat on your throne to judge people, and you have judged fairly/justly concerning me.
Car tu m'as fait droit, tu as défendu ma cause; tu t'es assis 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 as châtié les nations, tu as fait périr le méchant, tu as effacé leur nom pour toujours, à perpétuité.
6 Our enemies have disappeared; you destroyed their cities, and people do not even remember them any more.
C'en est fait des ennemis; plus que des ruines! Tu as détruit leurs villes et leur mémoire a péri.
7 But Yahweh rules forever. He judges [people while he sits] on his throne to judge people,
Mais l'Éternel règne à jamais; il prépare 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 jugera le monde avec justice; il jugera les peuples avec équité.
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 sera le refuge de l'opprimé, son 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]).
Et ceux qui connaissent ton nom, se confieront 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 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 il venge le sang versé, et il s'en souvient; il n'oublie point 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].
Aie pitié de moi, ô Éternel! Vois l'affliction que m'ont causée mes ennemis, 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 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 sont tombées dans la fosse qu'elles avaient faite; leur pied s'est pris au filet qu'elles avaient 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 s'est fait connaître, il a exercé le jugement; le méchant s'est enlacé dans l'ouvrage de ses mains. (Higgajon, Sélah, 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 reculeront jusqu'aux enfers, 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 pauvre ne sera pas oublié pour toujours; et l'attente des affligés ne périra pas à perpétuité!
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 point, que les peuples soient jugés devant ta face!
20 Yahweh, teach them to be terrified about you. Cause them to know that they are merely human beings.
Éternel, répands sur eux la terreur; que les peuples sachent qu'ils ne sont que des hommes! (Sélah)
