< Psaumes 62 >

1 Jusqu'à la Fin, sur Idithun, psaume de David. Mon âme n'est-elle pas soumise à Dieu, puisque mon salut vient de lui?
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 C'est lui qui est mon Dieu, mon Sauveur, mon champion; je ne serai plus ébranlé.
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 Jusques à quand vous attaquerez-vous à un homme? Vous réunirez-vous tous pour le tuer? Le traiterez-vous comme un mur qui penche, ou une muraille 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 Cependant ils ont résolu d'anéantir mon honneur; j'ai couru, dévoré par la soif. Ils m'avaient béni de la bouche, et ils me maudissaient en leur cœur.
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 Mais, ô mon âme, reste soumise à Dieu; ma patience vient de lui.
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 Car il est mon Dieu, mon Sauveur, mon champion, et je ne serai point exilé.
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 Ma gloire et mon salut sont en Dieu; Dieu est mon aide, et mon espérance 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 Espérez en lui, ô assemblée du peuple, épanchez devant lui vos cœurs; car Dieu est notre protecteur.
[You my] people, always trust in him. Tell him all your troubles, because he is (our refuge/the one who protects us) [MET].
9 Mais les fils des hommes sont vains, les fils des hommes ont de fausses balances pour tromper les hommes tous ensemble dans leur vanité.
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 N'espérez rien de l'injustice, ne convoitez pas de biens mal acquis; si vous regorgez de richesses, n'y attachez point votre cœur.
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 Dieu a parlé une fois, et j'ai ouï ces deux choses: que la puissance est de Dieu,
I have heard God say more than once that he is the one who [really] has power,
12 Et que la miséricorde est à toi, Seigneur; car tu rétribues chacun selon ses œuvres.
and that he is the one who faithfully loves [us]. He rewards every one [of us] according to the deeds that we do.
