Psaumes 16
1 Mictam de David. Garde-moi, ô Dieu! car je me confie en toi.
God, protect me because I go to you to keep me safe!
2 Tu as dit à l’Éternel: Tu es le Seigneur, ma bonté [ne s’élève] pas jusqu’à toi.
I said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord; all the good things that I have come from you.”
3 [Tu as dit] aux saints qui sont sur la terre, et aux excellents: En eux sont toutes mes délices.
Your people who live in this land are wonderful; I delight to be with them.
4 Les misères de ceux qui courent après un autre seront multipliées: je ne répandrai pas leurs libations de sang, et je ne prendrai pas leurs noms sur mes lèvres.
Those who choose to worship other gods will have many things that cause them to be sad. I will not join them when they make sacrifices [to their gods]; I will not even join them when they speak [MTY] the names of their gods.
5 L’Éternel est la portion de mon héritage et de ma coupe; tu maintiens mon lot.
Yahweh, you are the one whom I have chosen, and you give me great blessings. You protect me and control what happens to me.
6 Les cordeaux sont tombés pour moi en des lieux agréables; oui, un bel héritage m’est échu.
Yahweh has given me a wonderful place in which to live; I am delighted with all the things that he has given me [MET].
7 Je bénirai l’Éternel qui me donne conseil; durant les nuits même mes reins m’enseignent.
I will praise Yahweh, the one who teaches/disciplines me; even at night [he] you put in my mind what is right for me to do.
8 Je me suis toujours proposé l’Éternel devant moi; parce qu’il est à ma droite je ne serai pas ébranlé.
I know that Yahweh is always with me. He is beside me; so nothing will (perturb me/cause me to be worried).
9 C’est pourquoi mon cœur se réjouit, et mon âme s’égaie; même ma chair reposera en assurance.
Therefore I am glad and I [MTY, DOU] rejoice; I can rest securely
10 Car tu n’abandonneras pas mon âme au shéol, tu ne permettras pas que ton saint voie la corruption. (Sheol h7585)
because you, Yahweh, will not allow my soul/spirit to remain in the place where the dead people are; you will not allow me, your godly one, to stay there. (Sheol h7585)
11 Tu me feras connaître le chemin de la vie; ta face est un rassasiement de joie, il y a des plaisirs à ta droite pour toujours.
You will show me the road that leads to [receiving eternal] life, and you will make me joyful when I am with you. I will have pleasure forever when I am (at your right hand/seated next to you).
