Psaumes 75
1 Au chef des chantres. “Ne détruis pas.” Psaume d’Asaph. Cantique. Nous te louons, ô Dieu! Nous te louons; Ton nom est dans nos bouches; Nous publions tes merveilles.
We give thanks to you; our God, we thank you. You are close to us, and we proclaim to others the wonderful things that you have done [for us].
2 Au temps que j’aurai fixé, Je jugerai avec droiture.
[You have said], “I have appointed a time when I will judge people, and I will judge [everyone] fairly.
3 La terre tremble avec tous ceux qui l’habitent: Moi, j’affermis ses colonnes. (Pause)
When the earth shakes and all the creatures on the earth tremble, I am the one who will (keep its foundations steady/prevent it from being destroyed).
4 Je dis à ceux qui se glorifient: Ne vous glorifiez pas! Et aux méchants: N’élevez pas la tête!
I say to people who (boast/talk proudly about themselves), ‘Stop bragging!’ and I say to wicked people, ‘Do not proudly [do things to] show how great you are [IDM]!
5 N’élevez pas si haut votre tête, Ne parlez pas avec tant d’arrogance!
Do not be arrogant, and do not speak so boastfully!’”
6 Car ce n’est ni de l’orient, ni de l’occident, Ni du désert, que vient l’élévation.
The one who judges people does not come from the east or from the west, and he does not come from the desert.
7 Mais Dieu est celui qui juge: Il abaisse l’un, et il élève l’autre.
God is the one who judges people; he says that some have sinned and must be punished, and that others have not done what is wrong.
8 Il y a dans la main de l’Éternel une coupe, Où fermente un vin plein de mélange, Et il en verse: Tous les méchants de la terre sucent, boivent jusqu’à la lie.
[It is as though] Yahweh holds a cup in his hand; it is filled with wine that [has spices] mixed in it [to cause those who drink it to become more drunk]; and when Yahweh pours it out, he will force all the wicked people to drink it; they will drink every drop of it, [which means that he will give them all the punishment that they deserve].
9 Je publierai ces choses à jamais; Je chanterai en l’honneur du Dieu de Jacob.
But [as for me], I will never stop saying what the God whom Jacob [worshiped has done]; I will never quit singing to praise him.
10 Et j’abattrai toutes les forces des méchants; Les forces du juste seront élevées.
He will destroy the power [IDM] of wicked people, but he will cause righteous people to become more powerful.
