Psaumes 65
1 Jusqu'à la Fin. Hymne de David, inspiré des paroles de Jérémie et Ezéchiel à l'époque de la déportation, et quand ils étaient sur le point de sortir. O Dieu, il convient en Sion de te chanter des hymnes; et des vœux te seront rendus.
God, it is right/appropriate [for us] to praise you in Jerusalem, and to do what [we] have promised you that [we] would do,
2 Exauce ma prière; toute chair ira à toi.
[because] you answer our prayers. People everywhere will come to you
3 Les paroles des méchants ont prévalu contre nous; mais tu nous pardonneras nos impiétés.
because of the sins [that they have committed]. Our many sins are like a very heavy burden to us, but you forgive us.
4 Heureux celui que tu auras élu et adopté; il habitera en tes parvis. Nous nous rassasierons des biens de ta demeure. Ton temple est saint; il est admirable en justice.
You are pleased with those whom you have chosen to live close to your temple. We are happy with all the blessings that we receive from [worshiping in] your sacred temple.
5 Exauce-nous, ô Dieu notre Sauveur, espérance de toute la terre et de ceux qui sont au loin sur la mer.
[God, when we pray to you], you answer us and save us by doing awesome deeds; you are the one who rescues us; people who live in very remote places on the earth, on the other side of the oceans, trust in you.
6 Par ta force tu as formé les monts; tu es revêtu de puissance.
By your strength you put the mountains in their places, [showing that] you are very powerful.
7 Tu ébranles l'abîme de la mer, et ses flots retentissent; et les nations seront troublées.
You calm the seas when they roar, and you stop the waves from crashing [on the shore]; you [also] calm people when they (make a great uproar/shout angrily together).
8 Et ceux qui demeurent aux confins de la terre seront saisis de crainte, à cause de tes signes; tu répandras la joie de l'Orient à l'Occident.
People who live in very remote/distant places on the earth (are awed by/revere) you because of the miracles that you perform; because of what you do, people who live far to the west and far to the east shout joyfully.
9 Tu as visité la terre, et tu l'as enivrée; tu as multiplié tes dons pour l'enrichir. Le fleuve de Dieu a été rempli d'eau; tu as préparé leur nourriture: voilà comment est fertilisée la terre.
You take care of the soil and send rain, causing many good things to grow; you fill the streams with water, and cause grain/crops to grow. That is what you have determined/said would happen.
10 Abreuve ses sillons, multiplie ses fruits; la récolte qui germe se réjouira de ses rosées.
You [send plenty of rain] on the fields that have been plowed, and you fill the furrows with water. With showers you soften the [hard clods/lumps of] soil, and you bless the soil by causing young plants to grow.
11 Tu béniras le cercle des mois qui est la couronne de ta bonté, et tes champs seront remplis d'abondance.
Because you bless the soil, there are very good crops at harvest season; wherever you have gone [MTY], good crops are very abundant [IDM].
12 Les montagnes du désert seront engraissées, et les collines seront revêtues d'allégresse.
The pastures are full of flocks [of sheep and goats]; [it is as though] the hills are very joyful.
13 Les béliers du troupeau sont couverts de toison; les vallées regorgeront de froment; elles crieront, et chanteront un hymne au Seigneur.
The meadows are full of sheep and goats, and the valleys are full of grain; [it is as though] they [also] sing and shout joyfully.
