Psaumes 5
1 Au chef de musique. Pour Nehiloth. Psaume de David. Prête l’oreille à mes paroles, ô Éternel! Considère ma méditation.
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 la voix de ma supplication, mon Roi et mon Dieu! car c’est toi que je prie.
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 Éternel! le matin, tu entendras ma voix; le matin, je disposerai [ma prière] devant toi, et j’attendrai.
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 à la méchanceté; le mal ne séjournera point chez toi.
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 subsisteront point devant tes yeux; tu hais tous les ouvriers 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 feras périr ceux qui profèrent le mensonge; l’homme de sang et de fourbe, l’Éternel l’a en abomination.
You get rid of liars, and you despise those who murder [others] and those who deceive [others].
7 Mais moi, dans l’abondance de ta bonté, j’entrerai dans ta maison; je me prosternerai devant le temple de ta sainteté, dans ta crainte.
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 Éternel! conduis-moi dans ta justice, à cause de mes ennemis; dresse ta voie devant moi;
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 rien de sûr dans leur bouche; leur intérieur n’est que perversion; c’est un sépulcre ouvert que leur gosier; ils flattent de leur langue.
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 Punis-les, ô Dieu! Qu’ils tombent par leurs propres conseils; chasse-les à cause de la multitude de leurs transgressions; car ils se sont rebellés 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 Et tous ceux qui se confient en toi se réjouiront, ils chanteront de joie à toujours, et tu les protégeras; et ceux qui aiment ton nom s’égaieront en toi.
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 toi, tu béniras le juste, ô Éternel! Comme d’un bouclier tu l’environneras de faveur.
Yahweh, you always bless those who act righteously; you protect them like a [soldier is protected by his] shield [SIM].
