Psaumes 64
1 Pour la fin, psaume de David. Exaucez, ô Dieu, ma prière, lorsque je vous supplie: de la crainte d’un ennemi délivrez mon âme.
God, listen to me as I tell you the things that I am worried about. I am afraid of my enemies; so save/rescue me from them.
2 Vous m’avez protégé contre l’assemblée des méchants, et contre la multitude de ceux qui opèrent l’iniquité.
Protect me from what wicked men are planning to do to me; protect me from that gang of men who do what is evil.
3 Parce qu’ils ont aiguisé leurs langues comme un glaive: ils ont tendu leur arc, chose amère,
The hostile things they say [MTY] are like [SIM] [sharp] swords; their cruel words are like [SIM] arrows.
4 Afin de lancer des flèches dans les ténèbres, contre un innocent.
Without being afraid, they [lie about people and slander people] who have not done what is wrong, like someone who suddenly jumps up from where he is hiding and shoots [arrows] at his enemy [MET].
5 Ils les lanceront soudainement contre lui, et ils ne craindront point: ils se sont affermis dans un discours pervers.
They encourage each other about doing the evil things that they are planning to do; they talk [with each other] about where they can set traps to catch people, and they think, “No one [RHQ] will see what we are doing,
6 Ils ont cherché avec soin des iniquités contre moi; ceux qui les cherchaient ont défailli dans ces recherches.
because we have planned very well the crime that we are going to commit!” No one can fully understand what people can think and plan!
7 Mais Dieu sera exalté. Les plaies qu’ils ont faites sont devenues des flèches de petits enfants.
But [it will be as though] God will shoot his arrows at them, and suddenly they will be wounded.
8 Et leurs langues ont perdu leur force, en se tournant contre eux-mêmes. Tous ceux qui les voyaient ont été troublés,
Because of what they say [MTY], he will get rid of them, and then everyone who sees [what has happened to] them will shake their heads [to ridicule them].
9 Et tout homme a été saisi de crainte. Et ils ont annoncé les œuvres de Dieu, et ils ont compris les choses qu’il a faites.
And then everyone will be afraid [to sin because of what might happen to them, also]; they will tell others what God has done, and they themselves will think much about it.
10 Le juste se réjouira dans le Seigneur, et il espérera en lui, et tous les hommes droits de cœur seront loués.
Righteous people should rejoice because of what Yahweh [has done]; they should go to him to (find protection/be safe); and all those who are godly will praise him.
