Psaumes 21
1 Au maître de chant. Psaume de David. Yahweh, le roi se réjouit de ta force; comme ton secours le remplit d'allégresse!
[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] The king rejoices in your strength, LORD. How greatly he rejoices in your salvation.
2 Tu lui as donné ce que son cœur désirait, tu n'as pas refusé ce que demandaient ses lèvres. — Séla.
You have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)
3 Car tu l'as prévenu de bénédictions exquises, tu as mis sur sa tête une couronne d'or pur.
For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.
4 Il te demandait la vie, tu la lui as donnée, de longs jours à jamais et à perpétuité.
He asked life of you, you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.
5 Sa gloire est grande, grâce à ton secours; tu mets sur lui splendeur et magnificence.
His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.
6 Tu le rends à jamais un objet de bénédictions; tu le combles de joie devant ta face.
For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.
7 Car le roi se confie en Yahweh, et par la bonté du Très-Haut il ne chancelle point.
For the king trusts in the LORD. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.
8 Ta main, ô roi, atteindra tous tes ennemis, ta droite atteindra ceux qui te haïssent.
Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find all those who hate you.
9 Tu les rendras comme une fournaise ardente, au jour où tu montreras ta face; Yahweh les anéantira dans sa colère, et le feu les dévorera.
You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.
10 Tu feras disparaître de la terre leur postérité, et leur race d'entre les enfants des hommes.
You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the descendants of Adam.
11 Ils ont préparé pour toi la ruine, ils ont conçu des desseins pervers, mais ils seront impuissants.
Though they intend evil against you, devising a wicked scheme, they will not succeed.
12 Car tu leur feras tourner le dos; de tes traits tu les viseras au front.
For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.
13 Lève-toi, Yahweh, dans ta force! Nous voulons chanter et célébrer ta puissance.
Be exalted, LORD, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.
