Psaumes 120

1 Cantique des degrés. À l’Éternel, en ma détresse, j’ai crié; et il m’a répondu.

When I had troubles, I called out to Yahweh and he answered me.

2 Éternel! délivre mon âme de la lèvre menteuse, de la langue qui trompe.

[I prayed], “Yahweh, rescue/save me from people [SYN, MTY] who lie to me and [try to] deceive me!”

3 Que te donnera-t-on, et que t’ajoutera-t-on, langue trompeuse? –

You people who lie to me, [I will tell you] [RHQ] what [God] will do to you and what he will do to punish you.

4 Des flèches aiguës d’un homme puissant, et des charbons ardents de genêt.

He will shoot sharp arrows at you like soldiers do, and he will [burn you with] red-hot coals from [the wood of] a broom tree.

5 Malheur à moi de ce que je séjourne en Méshec, de ce que je demeure avec les tentes de Kédar; –

It is terrible for me, living among cruel/savage [DOU] people [like those who live] in Meshech [region] and Kedar [region].

6 Que mon âme ait tant demeuré avec ceux qui haïssent la paix!

I have lived for a long time among people who hate [to live with others] peacefully.

7 Je veux la paix; mais si j’en parle, ils sont, eux, pour la guerre.

Every time I talk about living together peacefully, they talk about starting a war.
