Psaumes 5
1 Au maître de chant. Sur les flûtes. Psaume de David. Prête l’oreille à mes paroles, Yahweh, entends mes soupirs;
Yahweh, listen to me while I pray! Pay attention to me when I am groaning [because I am suffering very much].
2 sois attentif à mes cris, ô mon Roi et mon Dieu; car c’est à toi que j’adresse ma prière.
You are my King and my God. When I call to you to ask you to help me, listen to me, because you are the one to whom I pray.
3 Yahweh, dès le matin, tu entends ma voix; dès le matin, je t’offre mes vœux et j’attends.
Listen to me when I pray to you [each] morning, and I wait for you to reply.
4 Car tu n’es pas un Dieu qui prenne plaisir au mal; avec toi le méchant ne saurait habiter.
You are not a god who is pleased with wicked people; you do not (associate with/invite into your house) [those who do what is] evil.
5 Les insensés ne subsistent pas devant tes yeux; tu hais tous les artisans d’iniquité.
You do not allow those who are very proud to come to you to worship you. You hate all those who do evil things.
6 Tu fais périr les menteurs; Yahweh abhorre l’homme de sang et de fraude.
You get rid of liars, and you despise those who murder [others] and those who deceive [others].
7 Pour moi, par ta grande miséricorde, j’irai dans ta maison; je me prosternerai, dans ta crainte, devant ton saint temple.
Yahweh, because you love me so much and so faithfully, I come into your temple. I revere you greatly, and I bow down to worship you at your sacred temple.
8 Seigneur, conduis-moi, dans ta justice, à cause de mes ennemis aplanis ta voie sous mes pas.
Yahweh, because you act righteously toward me, show me what is right for me to do. Because I have many enemies, show me clearly what you want me to do.
9 Car il n’y a pas de sincérité dans leur bouche; leur cœur n’est que malice; leur gosier est un sépulcre ouvert, leur langue se fait caressante.
My enemies never say what is true; they just want to destroy [others]. The things that they say [MTY] are [as foul as] an open grave [where a corpse is decaying]. They use their tongues to tell lies.
10 Châtie-les, ô Dieu. Qu’ils échouent dans leurs desseins! A cause de leurs crimes sans nombre, précipite-les; car ils sont en révolte contre toi.
O God, declare that they are guilty [MTY] [and punish them]. Cause them to experience the same disasters/troubles that they plan to cause to happen to others. Get rid of them because they have committed many sins, and they have rebelled against you.
11 Alors se réjouiront tous ceux qui se confient en toi; ils seront dans une perpétuelle allégresse, et tu les protégeras; ils se livreront à de joyeux transports, ceux qui aiment ton nom.
But cause that all those who go to you to be protected will rejoice; cause them to sing joyfully to you forever. Protect those who love you [MTY]; they are truly happy because (of what you [do for them/they belong to] you).
12 Car tu bénis le juste, Yahweh; tu l’entoures de bienveillance comme d’un bouclier.
Yahweh, you always bless those who act righteously; you protect them like a [soldier is protected by his] shield [SIM].
