Psaumes 88
1 Maskil d'Héman Ezrahite, [qui est] un Cantique de Psaume, [donné] au maître chantre d'entre les enfants de Coré, [pour le chanter] sur Mahalath-lehannoth. Eternel! Dieu de ma délivrance, je crie jour et nuit devant toi.
Yahweh God, you who rescues me, all during each day I call out [to you] to help me, and I cry out to you during each night also.
2 Que ma prière vienne en ta présence; ouvre ton oreille à mon cri.
Listen [IDM] to my prayer [DOU], while I cry out to you [for help]!
I have experienced many troubles/difficulties, and I am about to die [MTY] and go where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
4 On m'a mis au rang de ceux qui descendent en la fosse; je suis devenu comme un homme qui n'a plus de vigueur;
Because I have no more strength, [other people also] consider that I will soon die.
5 Placé parmi les morts, comme les blessés à mort couchés au sépulcre, desquels il ne te souvient plus, et qui sont retranchés par ta main.
I am like a corpse that has been abandoned; I am like dead people who lie in their graves, people who have been completely forgotten, because you do not take care of them any more.
6 Tu m'as mis en une fosse des plus basses, dans des lieux ténébreux, dans des lieux profonds.
[It is as though] you have thrown me into a deep, dark pit, into a place where they throw corpses.
7 Ta fureur s'est jetée sur moi, et tu m'as accablé de tous tes flots; (Sélah)
[It seems like] you are very angry with me, and [it is as though] you have crushed me like [ocean] waves [crash down on people] [MET].
8 Tu as éloigné de moi ceux de qui j'étais connu, tu m'as mis en une extrême abomination devant eux; je suis enfermé tellement, que je ne puis sortir.
You have caused my friends to (avoid/stay away from) me; I have become repulsive to them. [It is as though] I am in a prison and cannot escape.
9 Mon œil languit d'affliction; Eternel! je crie à toi tout le jour, j'étends mes mains vers toi.
My eyes cannot see well because I cry very much. Yahweh, every day I call out to you [to help me]; I lift up my hands to you [while I pray].
10 Feras-tu un miracle envers les morts? ou les trépassés se relèveront-ils pour te célébrer? (Sélah)
You certainly do not [RHQ] perform miracles for dead people! Their spirits do not [RHQ] arise to praise you!
11 Racontera-t-on ta miséricorde dans le sépulcre? [et] ta fidélité dans le tombeau?
Corpses in the grave certainly do not tell about your faithfully loving us [RHQ], and in the place where people are finally destroyed, no one tells about what you faithfully [do for us] [RHQ].
12 Connaîtra-t-on tes merveilles dans les ténèbres; et ta justice au pays d'oubli?
No one in the deep dark pit ever sees the miracles that you perform [RHQ], and no one in the place where people have been completely forgotten tells about your being good to us.
13 Mais moi, ô Eternel! je crie à toi, ma prière te prévient dès le matin.
But [as for me], Yahweh, I cry out to you [to help me]; each morning I pray to you.
14 Eternel! pourquoi rejettes-tu mon âme, pourquoi caches-tu ta face de moi?
Yahweh, why do you reject me [RHQ]? Why do you turn away from me [RHQ]?
15 Je suis affligé et comme rendant l'esprit dès ma jeunesse; j'ai été exposé à tes terreurs, et je ne sais où j'en suis.
All the time since I was young, I have suffered and have often almost died; I am (in despair/very discouraged) because of enduring the terrible things that you have done to me.
16 Les ardeurs de ta [colère] sont passées sur moi, et tes frayeurs m'ont retranché.
[I feel that] you have crushed me because of your being angry with me; the terrible things that you are doing to me are almost destroying me.
17 Ils m'ont tout le jour environné comme des eaux, ils m'ont entouré tous ensemble.
[I feel as though] they surround me like a flood [SIM]; they are (closing in on/crushing) me from all sides.
18 Tu as éloigné de moi mon ami, même mon intime ami, et ceux de qui je suis connu me sont des ténèbres.
You have caused [even] my friends and others whom I love to avoid me, and [it is as though] the only friend that I have is darkness.
