Psaumes 5
1 Au chef des chantres. Pour les flûtes. Psaume de David. Prête l’oreille à mes paroles, ô Eternel, sois attentif à mes soupirs!
Yahweh, listen to me while I pray! Pay attention to me when I am groaning [because I am suffering very much].
2 Ecoute mes cris suppliants, mon roi et mon Dieu, car c’est toi que j’invoque.
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 Seigneur, au matin entends ma voix, au matin je me présente à toi et suis dans l’attente.
Listen to me when I pray to you [each] morning, and I wait for you to reply.
4 Certes tu n’es point un Dieu qui prenne plaisir au mal, le méchant ne trouve point accès auprès de 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 fanfarons ne peuvent se maintenir sous ton regard, tu détestes tous les artisans 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 perds ceux qui profèrent le mensonge. L’Homme de sang et de fourberie, l’Eternel l’a en horreur.
You get rid of liars, and you despise those who murder [others] and those who deceive [others].
7 Mais moi, grâce à ton immense bonté, j’entre dans ta maison, je me prosterne dans ton saint temple, pénétré de 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 Eternel, dirige-moi dans ta justice à cause de mes adversaires, rends ton chemin uni 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 dans leur bouche il n’y a point de droiture; leur cœur ne rêve que ruines. Leur gosier est un sépulcre béant, ils rendent doucereuse 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 Condamne-les, ô Dieu! qu’ils tombent du haut de leurs projets! repousse-les pour leurs nombreux péchés, car ils se sont insurgés 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 Alors se réjouiront tous ceux qui s’abritent en toi, ils jubileront à jamais, car ils ont ta protection; et ils triompheront en toi, ceux qui aiment ton nom.
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, ô Seigneur, tu bénis le juste, tu l’entoures de ta bienveillance comme d’un bouclier.
Yahweh, you always bless those who act righteously; you protect them like a [soldier is protected by his] shield [SIM].
