Psalms 43

1 God, declare that I (am innocent/have not done things that are wrong). Defend me when (ungodly people/people who do not worship you) say things against me, rescue me from people who deceive and [say things about me that are] not true.

Psaume de David.

2 You are God, the one who protects me; (why have you abandoned me?/it seems that you have abandoned me!) [RHQ] It does not seem right that [RHQ] I am forced to mourn/cry constantly because my enemies are cruel to me.

Parce que vous êtes, ô Dieu, ma force: pourquoi m’avez-vous repoussé?

3 Shine your light on me and speak your truth to me; and let them guide me, and take me back to Zion, your sacred hill [at Jerusalem], and to [your temple], where you live.

Envoyez votre lumière et votre vérité: elles m’ont conduit et m’ont amené à votre montagne sainte et dans vos tabernacles.

4 When you do that, I will go to your altar, to [worship you], my God, who causes me to be extremely joyful. There I will praise you, the God whom I [worship], while I play my harp.

Et je viendrai jusqu’à l’autel de Dieu; jusqu’au Dieu qui réjouit ma jeunesse. Je vous louerai sur la harpe, Dieu, mon Dieu.

5 So (why am I sad and discouraged?/I should not be sad and discouraged!) [RHQ] I confidently expect God [to bless me], and I will praise him again, my God, the one who saves me.

Pourquoi es-tu triste, mon âme? et pourquoi me troubles-tu? Espère en Dieu, parce que je le louerai encore: il est le salut de mon visage, et mon Dieu.
