Psalms 60
1 [I prayed], “God, you have rejected us [Israelis]! Because you have been angry [with us], you have [enabled our enemies] to break through our ranks. [Please] enable us to be strong again!
Pour ceux qui seront changés, pour une inscription de titre par David lui-même, pour la doctrine, Lorsqu’il brûla la Mésopotamie de Syrie et Sobal, et que Joab, étant revenu, frappa l’Idumée dans la vallée des Salines, par la défaite de douze mille hommes. Ô Dieu, vous nous avez rejetés, et vous nous avez détruits; vous avez été irrité; et ensuite vous avez eu pitié de nous.
2 [When we were defeated, it was as though] [MET] there was a big earthquake in our land that caused the ground to split open. So now, [just as only you can] cause the cracks in the land to disappear, [help our army to be strong again], because [it is as though] our country is (falling apart/being destroyed).
Vous avez ébranlé la terre, et vous l’avez bouleversée; réparez ses brisures, parce qu’elle a été ébranlée.
3 You have caused [us], your people, to suffer very much; [it is as though] you forced us to drink [strong] wine that caused us to stagger around [after we became drunk].
Vous avez montré à votre peuple des châtiments rigoureux; vous nous avez fait boire du vin de componction.
4 But you have raised a battle flag for those who revere you in order that they can gather around it and not [be killed by the enemies’] arrows.
Vous avez donné à ceux qui vous craignent un signal, afin qu’ils fuient à la face de l’arc:
5 Answer our [prayers] and enable us by your power [MTY] to defeat [our enemies] in order that we, the people whom you love, will be saved.”
Sauvez-moi par votre droite, et exaucez-moi.
6 [Then] God [answered my prayer and] spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered [your enemies], I will divide up [everything in] Shechem [city], and I will distribute it among my people [the land in] Succoth Valley.
Dieu a parlé dans son sanctuaire: Je me réjouirai, et je partagerai Sichem, et je mesurerai la vallée des tabernacles.
7 The Gilead [region] is mine; the [people of the tribe of] Manasseh are mine; [the tribe of] Ephraim is [like] my helmet [MET]; and [the tribe of] Judah is [like] the (scepter/stick [that I hold which shows that I am the ruler]) [MET];
À moi est Galaad, et à moi est Manassé, et Ephraïm est la force de ma tête.
8 but 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].”
Moab est le vase de mon espérance. Jusque dans l’Idumée j’étendrai mes pas; des étrangers me sont devenus amis.
9 [Because I want to defeat 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]
Qui me conduira dans une ville fortifiée? qui me conduira jusque dans l’Idumée?
10 So, God, we [desire/hope that] [RHQ] you have not truly abandoned us, and that you will go with us when our armies march out [to fight our enemies].
Ne sera-ce pas vous, ô Dieu, qui nous avez rejetés? et ne sortirez-vous point, ô Dieu, à la tête de nos armées?
11 [We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
Donnez-nous du secours, pour nous tirer de la tribulation, parce que vain est le salut de l’homme.
12 But with you [helping us], we shall win; you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
En Dieu nous ferons preuve de valeur; et lui-même réduira au néant ceux qui nous tourmentent.
