Psaumes 62
1 Au chef des chantres. Sur ledouthoun. Psaume de David. Mon âme, mets toute ton attente en Dieu, de lui vient mon salut.
God is the only one who can give me peace in my inner being, and he is the one who saves me [from my enemies].
2 Lui seul est mon rocher, mon soutien, mon boulevard: je ne trébucherai pas sérieusement.
Only he is like an [overhanging] rock [under which I can be safe] [MET]; he will be [like] a shelter, [with the result that] I will never be defeated [MET].
3 Jusqu’à quand vous ruerez-vous contre un homme, lui porterez-vous tous des coups mortels, tels un mur penché, une cloison qui s’écroule?
When will you, [my enemies], stop attacking me [RHQ]? I feel that I am [as useless against you as] a wall that is about to fall over or a broken-down fence [MET].
4 Oui, ils projettent 'de le précipiter de sa hauteur, ils se complaisent dans le mensonge; avec leur bouche ils bénissent, et dans leur cœur ils maudissent. (Sélah)
My enemies plan to remove me from my important position so that people no longer honor me. They delight in telling lies. They bless people by what they say [MTY], but in their inner beings they curse [those people].
5 En Dieu seul mets ton attente, ô mon âme; car en lul est mon espoir.
God is the only one who gives me peace in my inner being; he is the one whom I confidently expect [to help me].
6 Lui seul est mon rocher, mon soutien, mon boulevard; je ne trébucherai point.
Only he is [like an overhanging] rock [under which I can be safe] [MET]; he is [like] a shelter, and [as a result] I will never be defeated.
7 Sur Dieu reposent mon salut, mon bonheur; il est mon puissant rocher, mon abri est en Dieu.
God is the one who saves me and honors me. He is [like an overhanging] strong rock under which I [can] find shelter [MET].
8 Fiez-vous en lui en tout temps, ô peuples! Epanchez votre cœur devant lui: Dieu est un refuge pour nous. (Sélah)
[You my] people, always trust in him. Tell him all your troubles, because he is (our refuge/the one who protects us) [MET].
9 Certes, les fils d’Adam ne sont qu’une ombre vaine, les fils de l’homme qu’une déception. Qu’on les mette sur la balance: ensemble ils pèsent autant qu’un souffle!
People who are considered to be unimportant are [as worthless/unreliable as] a breath of air; people who are considered to be important [also] really (amount to nothing/cannot be trusted [to help us)]. If you put them all on a scale, [it would be as if] they weighed less than a puff of air.
10 Ne mettez pas votre confiance dans la concussion, et dans! a rapine ne placez pas un vain espoir. Dût la richesse couler à pleins bords, n’y attachez pas trop d’importance.
Do not trust in money gained by extorting it from others; do not try to gain anything by robbing others. If you become very wealthy, do not trust in [IDM] your money.
11 Une fois Dieu l’a énoncé, deux fois je l’ai entendu: que la puissance appartient à Dieu.
I have heard God say more than once that he is the one who [really] has power,
12 Oui, Seigneur, tienne est la bonté, car tu rémunères chacun selon son œuvre.
and that he is the one who faithfully loves [us]. He rewards every one [of us] according to the deeds that we do.
