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 maître-chantre. — Sur «Meurs pour le fils». — Psaume de David. Je glorifierai l'Éternel de tout mon coeur; Je raconterai toutes ses 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.
Car mes ennemis reculent; Ils tombent et périssent devant ta face.
4 You sat on your throne to judge people, and you have judged fairly/justly concerning me.
Oui, tu as soutenu mon 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 réprimandé les nations, tu as fait périr les méchants; 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.
Plus d'ennemis. Des ruines éternelles! Tu as détruit leurs villes, Et leur souvenir a péri avec eux.
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 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]).
Ceux qui connaissent ton nom se confieront en toi; Car tu n'abandonnes jamais 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 en l'honneur de l'Éternel qui habite en Sion; Annoncez parmi les peuples ses actions glorieuses!
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 se souvient du sang versé, pour en tirer vengeance; 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].
Aie pitié de moi, ô Éternel! Vois la détresse où m'ont réduit 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 Aux portes de la fille de Sion, Et que je me réjouisse du salut que tu m'as accordé.
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 creusées; Leur pied s'est pris au piège 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 manifesté sa justice: Le méchant a été enlacé dans son propre filet. (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 s'en vont au Séjour des morts, Avec 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.
Le malheureux ne sera pas toujours oublié, Et l'espoir des opprimés ne sera pas éternellement trompé.
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.
Éternel, répands sur elles la frayeur: Que les peuples sachent qu'ils ne sont que des hommes! (Pause)
