Psaumes 60
1 Mictam de David, [propre] pour enseigner, [et donné] au maître chantre, [pour le chanter] sur Susan-heduth. Touchant la guerre qu'il eut contre la Syrie de Mésopotamie, et contre la Syrie de Tsoba; et touchant ce que Joab retournant défit douze mille Iduméens dans la vallée du sel. Ô Dieu! tu nous as rejetés, tu nous as dispersés, tu t'es courroucé; retourne-toi vers nous.
[I prayed], “God, you have rejected us [Israelis]! Because you have been angry [with us], you have [enabled our enemies] to break through our ranks. [Please] enable us to be strong again!
2 Tu as ébranlé la terre, et l'as mise en pièces; répare ses fractures, car elle est affaissée.
[When we were defeated, it was as though] [MET] there was a big earthquake in our land that caused the ground to split open. So now, [just as only you can] cause the cracks in the land to disappear, [help our army to be strong again], because [it is as though] our country is (falling apart/being destroyed).
3 Tu as fait voir à ton peuple des choses dures, tu nous as abreuvés de vin d'étourdissement.
You have caused [us], your people, to suffer very much; [it is as though] you forced us to drink [strong] wine that caused us to stagger around [after we became drunk].
4 [Mais depuis] tu as donné une bannière à ceux qui te craignent, afin de l'élever en haut pour l'amour de ta vérité; (Sélah)
But you have raised a battle flag for those who revere you in order that they can gather around it and not [be killed by the enemies’] arrows.
5 Afin que ceux que tu aimes soient délivrés. Sauve-moi par ta droite, et exauce-moi.
Answer our [prayers] and enable us by your power [MTY] to defeat [our enemies] in order that we, the people whom you love, will be saved.”
6 Dieu a parlé dans son Sanctuaire; je me réjouirai; je partagerai Sichem, et je mesurerai la vallée de Succoth.
[Then] God [answered my prayer and] spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered [your enemies], I will divide up [everything in] Shechem [city], and I will distribute it among my people [the land in] Succoth Valley.
7 Galaad sera à moi, Manassé aussi sera à moi, et Ephraïm sera la force de mon chef, Juda sera mon législateur.
The Gilead [region] is mine; the [people of the tribe of] Manasseh are mine; [the tribe of] Ephraim is [like] my helmet [MET]; and [the tribe of] Judah is [like] the (scepter/stick [that I hold which shows that I am the ruler]) [MET];
8 Moab sera le bassin où je me laverai; je jetterai mon soulier à Edom; Ô Palestine, triomphe à cause de moi.
but the Moab [region] is [like] my washbasin [MET]; I throw my sandal in the Edom [area to show that it belongs to me]; I shout triumphantly because I have defeated [the people of] the Philistia [area].”
9 Qui sera-ce qui me conduira en la ville munie? Qui sera-ce qui me conduira jusques en Edom?
[Because I want to defeat the people of] Edom, (who will lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it?/I want someone to lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it.)” [RHQ]
10 Ne sera-ce pas toi, ô Dieu! qui nous avais rejetés, et qui ne sortais plus, ô Dieu! avec nos armées.
So, God, we [desire/hope that] [RHQ] you have not truly abandoned us, and that you will go with us when our armies march out [to fight our enemies].
11 Donne-nous du secours [pour sortir] de détresse; car la délivrance [qu'on attend] de l'homme est vanité.
[We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
12 Nous ferons des actions de valeur [avec le secours de] Dieu, et il foulera nos ennemis.
But with you [helping us], we shall win; you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
