Psaumes 64
1 Pour le chef musicien. Un psaume de David. Écoute ma voix, Dieu, dans ma plainte. Préservez ma vie de la peur de l'ennemi.
God, listen to me as I tell you the things that I am worried about. I am afraid of my enemies; so save/rescue me from them.
2 Cache-moi de la conspiration des méchants, de la foule bruyante de ceux qui font le mal;
Protect me from what wicked men are planning to do to me; protect me from that gang of men who do what is evil.
3 qui aiguisent leur langue comme une épée, et visent leurs flèches, des mots mortels,
The hostile things they say [MTY] are like [SIM] [sharp] swords; their cruel words are like [SIM] arrows.
4 pour tirer sur des hommes innocents dans des embuscades. Ils lui tirent dessus soudainement et sans crainte.
Without being afraid, they [lie about people and slander people] who have not done what is wrong, like someone who suddenly jumps up from where he is hiding and shoots [arrows] at his enemy [MET].
5 Ils s'encouragent dans de mauvais projets. Ils parlent de tendre des pièges en secret. Ils disent: « Qui les verra? »
They encourage each other about doing the evil things that they are planning to do; they talk [with each other] about where they can set traps to catch people, and they think, “No one [RHQ] will see what we are doing,
6 Ils complotent l'injustice, en disant: « Nous avons fait un plan parfait! » L'esprit et le cœur de l'homme sont certainement rusés.
because we have planned very well the crime that we are going to commit!” No one can fully understand what people can think and plan!
7 Mais Dieu tirera sur eux. Ils seront soudainement frappés par une flèche.
But [it will be as though] God will shoot his arrows at them, and suddenly they will be wounded.
8 Leur propre langue les ruine. Tous ceux qui les verront secoueront la tête.
Because of what they say [MTY], he will get rid of them, and then everyone who sees [what has happened to] them will shake their heads [to ridicule them].
9 Toute l'humanité sera effrayée. Ils annonceront l'œuvre de Dieu, et réfléchira sagement à ce qu'il a fait.
And then everyone will be afraid [to sin because of what might happen to them, also]; they will tell others what God has done, and they themselves will think much about it.
10 Les justes se réjouissent en Yahvé, et se réfugieront en lui. Tous ceux qui ont le cœur droit le loueront!
Righteous people should rejoice because of what Yahweh [has done]; they should go to him to (find protection/be safe); and all those who are godly will praise him.
