Psaumes 30
1 Psaume, [qui fut] un Cantique de la dédicace de la maison de David. Eternel, je t'exalterai, parce que tu m'as délivré et que tu n'as pas réjoui mes ennemis [de ma défaite].
Yahweh, I praise you because you rescued me. You did not allow [me to die], [with the result that] my enemies could gloat/rejoice.
2 Eternel mon Dieu, j'ai crié vers toi, et tu m'as guéri.
Yahweh, my God, I called out for you to help [me when I was ill], and you healed me.
3 Eternel, tu as fait remonter mon âme du sépulcre; tu m'as rendu la vie, afin que je ne descendisse point en la fosse. (Sheol h7585)
You saved/restored me when I was dying [MTY]. I was nearly dead, but you caused me to get well again. (Sheol h7585)
4 Psalmodiez à l'Eternel, vous ses bien-aimés, et célébrez la mémoire de sa Sainteté.
All you who belong to Yahweh, sing praise to him! Think about what [God], the holy one, has done, and thank him!
5 Car il n'y a qu'un moment en sa colère, [mais il y a toute] une vie en sa faveur; la lamentation loge-t-elle le soir chez nous? le chant de triomphe y est le matin.
When he becomes angry, he is angry for only a very short time [HYP], but he is good [to us] all of our life. We may cry during the night, but the next morning we will be joyful.
6 Quand j'étais en ma prospérité, je disais: je ne serai jamais ébranlé.
As for me, when I had no troubles, I said [to myself], “No one will defeat me!”
7 Eternel, par ta faveur tu avais fait que la force se tenait en ma montagne; as-tu caché ta face? J'ai été tout effrayé.
Yahweh, because you were good to me, at first you caused me to be safe [as though I was inside] [MET] a mountain. But then [I became ill, and I thought that] you had turned away from me, and I became afraid.
8 Eternel, j'ai crié à toi, et j'ai présenté ma supplication à l'Eternel, [en disant]:
[Then] I called out to you, and I pleaded for you [to help me].
9 Quel profit y aura-t-il en mon sang, si je descends dans la fosse? la poudre te célébrera-t-elle? prêchera-t-elle ta vérité?
[I said], “Yahweh, (what will you gain if I die?/ you won’t gain anything if I die) [MTY]. (In what way will it benefit you?/it won’t benefit you at all) if I go to the place where the dead people are [RHQ]. Dead people are certainly not able to praise you [RHQ], and they are not able to tell others that you are trustworthy [RHQ]!
10 Eternel, écoute, et aie pitié de moi; Eternel, sois-moi en aide.
Yahweh, listen to me, and be merciful to me! Yahweh, help me!”
11 Tu as changé mon deuil en allégresse; tu as détaché mon sac, et tu m'as ceint de joie.
But [now you have healed me], and you have caused me to change from being sad to dancing [joyfully]. You have taken away the clothes that showed that I was very sad and you have given me clothes that showed that I was [very] joyful.
12 Afin que ma langue te psalmodie, et ne se taise point. Eternel, mon Dieu! je te célébrerai à toujours.
So I will not be silent; I will sing out [loudly] to praise you. Yahweh, you are my God, and I will thank you forever.
