Psalms 24
1 The earth and everything in it belongs to Yahweh; all the people in the world belong to him, too,
Psaume de David. A l’Éternel la terre et ce qu’elle renferme, Le monde et ceux qui l’habitent!
2 because he caused the ground to be above the water, above the water that was deep below the surface of the earth.
Car il l’a fondée sur les mers, Et affermie sur les fleuves.
3 Who will be allowed to go up on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem], in order to stand [and worship] in Yahweh’s holy temple?
Qui pourra monter à la montagne de l’Éternel? Qui s’élèvera jusqu’à son lieu saint?
4 [Only] those whose actions [MTY] and thoughts are pure, who have not worshiped idols, and who do not tell lies when they have solemnly promised [to tell the truth].
Celui qui a les mains innocentes et le cœur pur; Celui qui ne livre pas son âme au mensonge, Et qui ne jure pas pour tromper.
5 (They will be blessed by Yahweh/Yahweh will bless them). When God [judges them], he, who has saved them, will say that they (have done nothing wrong/are without fault).
Il obtiendra la bénédiction de l’Éternel, La miséricorde du Dieu de son salut.
6 They are the ones who approach God, they are the ones who may worship God, the one [we] Israelis worship.
Voilà le partage de la génération qui l’invoque, De ceux qui cherchent ta face, Dieu de Jacob! (Pause)
7 Open up [APO] the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
Portes, élevez vos linteaux; Élevez-vous, portes éternelles! Que le roi de gloire fasse son entrée!
8 [Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh, the one who is very strong [DOU]; He is Yahweh, who conquers [all his enemies] in battles!
Qui est ce roi de gloire? L’Éternel fort et puissant, L’Éternel puissant dans les combats.
9 Open up the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
Portes, élevez vos linteaux; Élevez-les, portes éternelles! Que le roi de gloire fasse son entrée!
10 [Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh almighty; he is our glorious king!
Qui donc est ce roi de gloire? L’Éternel des armées: Voilà le roi de gloire! (Pause)
