Psaumes 84
1 Au chef des chantres. Sur la guitthith. Des fils de Koré. Psaume. Que tes demeures sont aimables, Éternel des armées!
Lord, you who are the Commander of the armies of angels, your temple is very beautiful!
2 Mon âme soupire et languit après les parvis de l’Éternel, Mon cœur et ma chair poussent des cris vers le Dieu vivant.
I [SYN] would like to be there; Yahweh, I desire that very much [DOU]. With all of my inner being I sing joyfully to you, the all-powerful God.
3 Le passereau même trouve une maison, Et l’hirondelle un nid où elle dépose ses petits… Tes autels, Éternel des armées! Mon roi et mon Dieu!
Even sparrows and swallows have built nests [near your temple, where you protect them] [DOU]; they take care of their young babies near the altars [where people offer sacrifices to] you, who are the commander of the armies of heaven, and my king and my God.
4 Heureux ceux qui habitent ta maison! Ils peuvent te célébrer encore. (Pause)
(Happy are/You are pleased with) those who (live/continually worship) in your temple, constantly singing to praise you.
5 Heureux ceux qui placent en toi leur appui! Ils trouvent dans leur cœur des chemins tout tracés.

6 Lorsqu’ils traversent la vallée de Baca, Ils la transforment en un lieu plein de sources, Et la pluie la couvre aussi de bénédictions.
While they travel through the [dry] Baca Valley, [you cause] it to become a place where there are springs of water, where the rains (in the autumn/before the cold season) fill the valley with pools of water.
7 Leur force augmente pendant la marche, Et ils se présentent devant Dieu à Sion.
[As a result, those who travel through there] become stronger/refreshed [knowing that] they will appear in your presence (on Zion [Hill]/in Jerusalem).
8 Éternel, Dieu des armées, écoute ma prière! Prête l’oreille, Dieu de Jacob! (Pause)
Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, listen to my prayer; God, who [is worshiped by us (descendants of] Jacob/Israeli people), hear [IDM] what I am saying!
9 Toi qui es notre bouclier, vois, ô Dieu! Et regarde la face de ton oint!
God, be kind to [IDM] our king, the one who protects us [MTY], the one whom you have chosen [MTY] [to rule us].
10 Mieux vaut un jour dans tes parvis que mille ailleurs; Je préfère me tenir sur le seuil de la maison de mon Dieu, Plutôt que d’habiter sous les tentes de la méchanceté.
[For me], spending one day in your temple is better than spending 1,000 days somewhere else; [standing] at the entrance to your temple, [ready to go inside], is better than living in the tents/homes where wicked [people live].
11 Car l’Éternel Dieu est un soleil et un bouclier, L’Éternel donne la grâce et la gloire, Il ne refuse aucun bien à ceux qui marchent dans l’intégrité.
Yahweh our God is [like] the sun [that shines on us] and [like] a shield [that protects us] [MET]; he is kind to [us] and honors [us]. Yahweh does not refuse to give any good thing/blessing to those who do what is right.
12 Éternel des armées! Heureux l’homme qui se confie en toi!
Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, (happy are/you are pleased with) those who trust in you!
