Psaumes 75
1 Au chef de musique. Al-Tashkheth. Psaume d’Asaph. Cantique. Nous te célébrons, ô Dieu! nous te célébrons, et ton nom est proche: tes merveilles le racontent.
We give thanks to you; our God, we thank you. You are close to us, and we proclaim to others the wonderful things that you have done [for us].
2 Quand je recevrai l’assemblée, je jugerai avec droiture.
[You have said], “I have appointed a time when I will judge people, and I will judge [everyone] fairly.
3 La terre et tous ses habitants se sont fondus; moi, j’affermis ses piliers. (Sélah)
When the earth shakes and all the creatures on the earth tremble, I am the one who will (keep its foundations steady/prevent it from being destroyed).
4 J’ai dit à ceux qui se glorifient: Ne vous glorifiez pas; et aux méchants: N’élevez pas [votre] corne;
I say to people who (boast/talk proudly about themselves), ‘Stop bragging!’ and I say to wicked people, ‘Do not proudly [do things to] show how great you are [IDM]!
5 N’élevez pas en haut votre corne, ne parlez pas avec arrogance, d’un cou [roide].
Do not be arrogant, and do not speak so boastfully!’”
6 Car ce n’est ni du levant, ni du couchant, ni du midi, que vient l’élévation.
The one who judges people does not come from the east or from the west, and he does not come from the desert.
7 Car c’est Dieu qui juge; il abaisse l’un, et élève l’autre.
God is the one who judges people; he says that some have sinned and must be punished, and that others have not done what is wrong.
8 Car une coupe est dans la main de l’Éternel, et elle écume de vin; elle est pleine de mixtion, et il en verse: oui, tous les méchants de la terre en suceront la lie, ils la boiront.
[It is as though] Yahweh holds a cup in his hand; it is filled with wine that [has spices] mixed in it [to cause those who drink it to become more drunk]; and when Yahweh pours it out, he will force all the wicked people to drink it; they will drink every drop of it, [which means that he will give them all the punishment that they deserve].
9 Mais moi, je raconterai [ces choses] à toujours; je chanterai au Dieu de Jacob.
But [as for me], I will never stop saying what the God whom Jacob [worshiped has done]; I will never quit singing to praise him.
10 Et toutes les cornes des méchants, je les abattrai; [mais] les cornes des justes seront élevées.
He will destroy the power [IDM] of wicked people, but he will cause righteous people to become more powerful.
