Psaumes 130

1 Une chanson d'ascension. Du fond de l'abîme, j'ai crié vers toi, Yahvé.

Yahweh, I have a lot of troubles/many difficulties, so I call out to you.

2 Seigneur, entends ma voix. Que vos oreilles soient attentives à la voix de mes requêtes.

Yahweh, hear me, while I call out to you [SYN] to be merciful to me!

3 Si toi, Yah, tu enregistrais les péchés, Seigneur, qui pourrait le supporter?

Yahweh, if you kept a record of the sins [that we have committed], not one [of us] [RHQ] would escape from being condemned [and punished]

4 Mais le pardon est avec vous, c'est pourquoi on vous craint.

But you forgive us, with the result that we greatly revere you.

5 J'attends Yahvé. Mon âme attend. J'espère en sa parole.

Yahweh has said [that he would help/rescue me]; I trust what he said, and I wait eagerly for him to do that.

6 Mon âme aspire à l'Éternel plus que les sentinelles n'aspirent au matin, plus que des gardiens du matin.

I wait for Yahweh [to help me] more than watchmen wait for the light to dawn; yes, I wait more eagerly than they do!

7 Israël, espère en Yahvé, car il y a de la bonté chez Yahvé. La rédemption abondante est avec lui.

You [my fellow] Israelis, confidently expect that Yahweh [will bless us]. [He will bless us] because he faithfully loves [us], and he is very willing to save/rescue [us].

8 Il rachètera Israël de tous ses péchés.

And he will save us Israeli [people] from [being punished for] all the sins that [we] have committed.
