God, I am (very confident/trusting completely) [IDM] in you. I will sing to praise [you]. with all my inner being.

3 Je vous louerai parmi les peuples. Seigneur, et je dirai un psaume en votre honneur parmi les nations.
[I prayed], “Yahweh, I will thank you among [all] the people-groups; I will sing to praise you among the nations,
4 Parce que votre miséricorde est grande au-dessus des cieux, et que votre vérité s’élève jusqu’aux nues.
because your faithful love for us reaches up to the heavens, and your faithfully doing what you promise [is as great as the distance] up to the clouds.
5 Soyez exalté au-dessus des cieux, ô Dieu, et que sur toute la terre éclate votre gloire,
Yahweh, [show] in the heavens that you are very great! And [show] your glory [to people] all over the earth!
6 Afin que vos bien-aimés soient délivrés. Sauvez-moi par votre droite, et exaucez-moi;

And [Yahweh answered our prayers and] spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered [your enemies], I will joyfully [everything in] [city] and I will distribute among my people [the valuable things] in Succoth Valley.
8 À moi est Galaad, et à moi est Manassé; Ephraïm est l’appui de ma tête.
The Gilead [region] is mine; the [people of the tribe of] Manasseh are mine; [the tribe of] Ephraim is [like] my war helmet, and [the tribe of Judah] is like the (scepter/stick that I hold which shows that I am the ruler) [MET];
9 Moab est le vase de mon espérance.
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].”
10 Qui me conduira dans une ville fortifiée? qui me conduira jusque dans l’Idumée?
[Because we want to attack 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]
11 Ne sera-ce pas vous, ô Dieu, qui nous avez rejetés? et ne sortirez-vous point, ô Dieu, à la tête de nos armées?
God, we [hope that] [RHQ] you have not abandoned us, and that you will go with us when our army marches out [to fight our enemies].
12 Donnez-nous du secours, pour nous tirer de la tribulation, parce que vain est le salut de l’homme.
[We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
13 En Dieu nous ferons preuve de valeur, et lui-même réduira au néant nos ennemis.
[But] with you [helping us], we shall win; you will [enable us to] defeat our enemies.
