Psaumes 30
1 Psaume. Cantique pour la dédicace de la maison. De David. Je t’exalte, ô Éternel, car tu m’as relevé, Tu n’as pas voulu que mes ennemis se réjouissent à mon sujet.
[A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By David.] I will extol you, LORD, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 Éternel, mon Dieu! J’ai crié à toi, et tu m’as guéri.
LORD my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.
3 Éternel! Tu as fait remonter mon âme du séjour des morts, Tu m’as fait revivre loin de ceux qui descendent dans la fosse. (Sheol h7585)
LORD, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)
4 Chantez à l’Éternel, vous qui l’aimez, Célébrez par vos louanges sa sainteté!
Sing praise to the LORD, you his faithful ones. Give thanks to his holy name.
5 Car sa colère dure un instant, Mais sa grâce toute la vie; Le soir arrivent les pleurs, Et le matin l’allégresse.
For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.
6 Je disais dans ma sécurité: Je ne chancellerai jamais!
As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved."
7 Éternel! Par ta grâce tu avais affermi ma montagne… Tu cachas ta face, et je fus troublé.
You, LORD, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
8 Éternel! J’ai crié à toi, J’ai imploré l’Éternel:
I cried to you, LORD. To the LORD I made petition:
9 Que gagnes-tu à verser mon sang, A me faire descendre dans la fosse? La poussière a-t-elle pour toi des louanges? Raconte-t-elle ta fidélité?
"What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?
10 Écoute, Éternel, aie pitié de moi! Éternel, secours-moi!
Hear, LORD, and have mercy on me. LORD, be my helper."
11 Et tu as changé mes lamentations en allégresse, Tu as délié mon sac, et tu m’as ceint de joie,
You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
12 Afin que mon cœur te chante et ne soit pas muet. Éternel, mon Dieu! Je te louerai toujours.
To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
