Psalms 130

1 Yahweh, I have a lot of troubles/many difficulties, so I call out to you.

Cantique graduel. Du fond des abîmes je t'implore, Éternel!

2 Yahweh, hear me, while I call out to you [SYN] to be merciful to me!

Seigneur, entends ma voix! Que ton oreille soit attentive à ma prière!

3 Yahweh, if you kept a record of the sins [that we have committed], not one [of us] [RHQ] would escape from being condemned [and punished]

Si tu gardes la mémoire des transgressions, Éternel, Seigneur, qui est-ce qui subsistera?

4 But you forgive us, with the result that we greatly revere you.

Mais non, le pardon est par devers toi, afin qu'on te craigne.

5 Yahweh has said [that he would help/rescue me]; I trust what he said, and I wait eagerly for him to do that.

J'espère dans l'Éternel, mon âme espère, et je compte sur sa promesse.

6 I wait for Yahweh [to help me] more than watchmen wait for the light to dawn; yes, I wait more eagerly than they do!

Mon âme attend l'Éternel, plus que la sentinelle n'attend le matin, que la sentinelle n'attend le matin.

7 You [my fellow] Israelis, confidently expect that Yahweh [will bless us]. [He will bless us] because he faithfully loves [us], and he is very willing to save/rescue [us].

Israël, espère dans l'Éternel! car la miséricorde est par devers l'Éternel, et Il a par devers lui un trésor de rédemption.

8 And he will save us Israeli [people] from [being punished for] all the sins that [we] have committed.

Et Il rachètera Israël de toutes ses transgressions.
