Psaumes 130

1 Cantique Mahaloth. Ô Éternel! je t'invoque des lieux profonds.

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Lord, I cry out to you from the depths of my pain.

2 Seigneur, écoute ma voix! que tes oreilles soient attentives à la voix de mes supplications.

Please listen to my cry, and pay attention to what I'm asking.

3 Ô Eternel! si tu prends garde aux iniquités, Seigneur, qui est-ce qui subsistera?

Lord, if you kept a list of sins, who could escape being condemned?

4 Mais il y a pardon par-devers toi, afin que tu sois craint.

But you are forgiving so that we might respect you.

5 J'ai attendu l'Eternel; mon âme l'a attendu, et j'ai eu mon attente en sa parole.

I'm waiting for the Lord, longingly waiting, for I trust in his word.

6 Mon âme [attend] le Seigneur plus que les sentinelles [n'attendent] le matin, plus que les sentinelles [n'attendent] le matin.

I long for the Lord to come, more than watchmen longing for the dawn to come, more than watchmen longing for the dawn to come.

7 Israël, attends-toi à l'Eternel: car l'Eternel est miséricordieux et il y a rédemption en abondance par devers lui.

Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for the Lord loves us with a trustworthy love and his salvation knows no limits.

8 Et lui-même rachètera Israël de toutes ses iniquités.

He will save Israel from every sin.
