Psaumes 9
1 Psaume de David, [donné] au maître chantre, [pour le chanter] sur Muth-Labben. Je célébrerai de tout mon cœur l'Eternel; je raconterai toutes tes merveilles.
Yahweh, I will praise you with all of my inner being. I will tell [others] about all the wonderful things that you have done.
2 Je me réjouirai et je m'égayerai en toi; je psalmodierai ton Nom, ô Souverain!
I will sing to celebrate what you [MTY], who are much greater than all other gods, [have done].
3 Parce que mes ennemis sont retournés en arrière; ils sont tombés, et ils ont péri de devant ta face.
When my enemies realize [that you are very powerful], they stumble, and then they are killed.
4 Car tu m'as fait droit et justice; tu t'es assis sur le trône, toi juste juge.
You sat on your throne to judge people, and you have judged fairly/justly concerning me.
5 Tu as réprimé fortement les nations, tu as fait périr le méchant, tu as effacé leur nom pour toujours, et à perpétuité.
You rebuked the [people of other] nations and you have gotten rid of the wicked people; you have erased their names forever.
6 Ô ennemi! les désolations ont-elles pris fin? as-tu aussi rasé les villes pour jamais? leur mémoire est-elle périe avec elles?
Our enemies have disappeared; you destroyed their cities, and people do not even remember them any more.
7 Mais l'Eternel sera assis éternellement; il a préparé son trône pour juger;
But Yahweh rules forever. He judges [people while he sits] on his throne to judge people,
8 Et il jugera le monde avec justice, [et] fera droit aux peuples avec équité.
and he will judge [all the people in] [SYN] the world justly; he will judge the people [of all nations] fairly [DOU].
9 Et l'Eternel sera une haute retraite à celui qui sera foulé, il lui sera une haute retraite au temps qu'il sera dans l'angoisse.
Yahweh will be a refuge for those who are oppressed; [yes, he will be like] a shelter for them when they have trouble.
10 Et ceux qui connaissent ton Nom, s'assureront sur toi: car, ô Eternel! tu n'abandonnes point ceux qui te cherchent.
Those who know Yahweh [MTY] trust in him; he never abandons those who come to him ([for help/to worship him]).
11 Psalmodiez à l'Eternel qui habite en Sion; annoncez ses exploits parmi les peuples.
Yahweh rules from Zion [Hill]; praise him while you sing to him. Tell [the people of all] the nations the [marvelous] things that he has done.
12 Car il recherche les meurtres, [et] il s'en souvient; il n'oublie point le cri des débonnaires.
He does not forget [to punish] those who have murdered others; and he will not ignore people who are crying because they are suffering.
13 Eternel! aie pitié de moi; regarde mon affliction causée par ceux qui me haïssent, toi qui me retires des portes de la mort.
Yahweh, be merciful to me! Look at the ways that my enemies have injured me. Do not allow me to die [because of these injuries].
14 Afin que je raconte toutes tes louanges dans les portes de la fille de Sion. Je me réjouirai de la délivrance que tu m'auras donnée.
I want to live in order that I can praise you at the gates of Jerusalem [MTY] and to rejoice because you rescued me.
15 Les nations ont été enfoncées dans la fosse qu'elles avaient faite; leur pied a été pris au filet qu'elles avaient caché.
[It is as though] the [wicked people of many] nations have dug a pit for me to fall into [MET], but they have fallen into that same pit. [It is as if] they spread out a net to catch me [MET], but their feet have been caught in that same net.
16 L'Eternel s'est fait connaître; il a fait jugement; le méchant est enlacé dans l'ouvrage de ses mains. (Higgajon, Sélah)
Because of what you have done, people know that you decide matters [fairly/justly], but [you allow] wicked people to be trapped by the same evil things that they themselves do.
17 Les méchants retourneront vers le sépulcre, toutes les nations, [dis-je], qui oublient Dieu. (Sheol h7585)
Wicked people will all [die and] be buried in their graves, and [their spirits] will go to be with all those who have (forgotten about/rejected) you. (Sheol h7585)
18 Car le pauvre ne sera point oublié à jamais, [et] l'attente des affligés ne périra point à perpétuité.
But you will not forget those who are needy/poor; what they confidently expect will certainly happen.
19 Lève-toi, ô Eternel! et que l'homme [mortel] ne se renforce point! que la vengeance soit faite des nations devant ta face!
Yahweh, arise and judge the [wicked] people of the nations; do not allow them to think that [because they are strong] they will never be punished.
20 Eternel, remplis-les de frayeur; [et] que les nations sachent qu'elles ne sont que des hommes [mortels]. (Sélah)
Yahweh, teach them to be terrified about you. Cause them to know that they are merely human beings.
