Psaumes 24
1 Psaume de David. A l’Éternel la terre et ce qu’elle renferme, Le monde 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 il l’a fondée sur les mers, Et affermie sur les fleuves.
because he caused the ground to be above the water, above the water that was deep below the surface of the earth.
3 Qui pourra monter à la montagne de l’Éternel? Qui s’élèvera jusqu’à son lieu saint?
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 qui a les mains innocentes et le cœur pur; Celui qui ne livre pas son âme au mensonge, Et qui ne jure pas pour tromper.
[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 Il obtiendra la bénédiction de l’Éternel, La miséricorde 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 Voilà le partage de la génération qui l’invoque, De ceux qui cherchent ta face, Dieu de Jacob! (Pause)
They are the ones who approach God, they are the ones who may worship God, the one [we] Israelis worship.
7 Portes, élevez vos linteaux; Élevez-vous, portes éternelles! Que le roi de gloire fasse son entrée!
Open up [APO] the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
