< Psaumes 24 >

1 De David. Psaume. A l’Eternel appartient la terre et ce qu’elle renferme, le globe et ceux qui l’habitent.
The earth and everything in it belongs to Yahweh; all the people in the world belong to him, too,
2 Car c’est lui qui l’a fondée sur les mers et affermie sur les flots.
because he caused the ground to be above the water, above the water that was deep below the surface of the earth.
3 Qui s’élèvera sur la montagne du Seigneur? Qui se tiendra dans sa sainte résidence?
Who will be allowed to go up on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem], in order to stand [and worship] in Yahweh’s holy temple?
4 Celui dont les mains sont sans tache, le cœur pur, qui n’atteste pas ma personne pour la fausseté, et ne prête pas de serment frauduleux:
[Only] those whose actions [MTY] and thoughts are pure, who have not worshiped idols, and who do not tell lies when they have solemnly promised [to tell the truth].
5 celui-là obtiendra la bénédiction de l’Eternel, la bienveillance du Dieu de son salut.
(They will be blessed by Yahweh/Yahweh will bless them). When God [judges them], he, who has saved them, will say that they (have done nothing wrong/are without fault).
6 Tel est le sort de ses adorateurs, de ceux qui recherchent ta face, de Jacob. (Sélah)
They are the ones who approach God, they are the ones who may worship God, the one [we] Israelis worship.
7 Exhaussez, ô portes, vos frontons, relevez-vous, portails antiques, pour qu’il entre, le roi de gloire!
Open up [APO] the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
8 Qui donc est ce roi de gloire?" L’Eternel fort et puissant, l’Eternel, héros dans la guerre.
[Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh, the one who is very strong [DOU]; He is Yahweh, who conquers [all his enemies] in battles!
9 Exhaussez, ô portes, vos frontons, relevez-vous, portails antiques, pour qu’il entre, le roi de gloire!
Open up the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
10 "Qui donc est ce roi de gloire?" L’Eternel-Cebaot, c’est lui qui est le roi de gloire! (Sélah)
[Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh almighty; he is our glorious king!
