Psalms 85
1 Yahweh, you have been kind to [us people who live in] this land; you have enabled [us] Israeli people to become prosperous again.
Éternel, tu as été propice envers ta terre; tu as ramené les captifs de Jacob.
2 You forgave [us], your people, for the sins that we had committed; you pardoned [us] for all our sins [DOU].
Tu as pardonné l'iniquité de ton peuple; tu as couvert tous leurs péchés. (Sélah)
3 You stopped being angry [with us] and turned away from severely punishing [us].
Tu as retiré tout ton courroux; tu es revenu de l'ardeur de ta colère.
4 Now, God, the one who saves/rescues us, (restore us/make us prosperous again) and stop being angry with us!
Rétablis-nous, ô Dieu de notre salut, et fais cesser ton indignation contre nous!
5 (Will you continue to be angry with us forever?/Please do not continue to be angry with us forever.) [DOU, RHQ]
Seras-tu toujours courroucé contre nous? Feras-tu durer ta colère d'âge en âge?
6 Please enable us [RHQ] to prosper again in order that [we], your people, will rejoice about what you [have done for us].
Ne reviendras-tu pas nous rendre la vie, afin que ton peuple se réjouisse en toi?
7 Yahweh, by rescuing us [from our troubles/difficulties], show us that you faithfully love us.
Fais-nous voir ta bonté, ô Éternel, et accorde-nous ta délivrance!
8 I want to listen to what Yahweh [our] God says, because he promises/says that he will enable [us], his people, to live peacefully, if we do not return to doing foolish things.
J'écouterai ce que dit Dieu, l'Éternel, car il parlera de paix à son peuple et à ses bien-aimés, afin qu'ils ne retournent plus à la folie.
9 He is surely ready to save/rescue those who revere him, in order that [his] glory/splendor will be seen in our land.
Oui, son salut est près de ceux qui le craignent, afin que la gloire habite dans notre terre.
10 [When that happens], he will both faithfully love us and faithfully [do for us what he promised to do] [PRS]; and we will act/behave righteously, and he will give us peace, which will be like a kiss that he gives us.
La bonté et la vérité se sont rencontrées; la justice et la paix se sont entrebaisées.
11 Here on earth, we will (be loyal to/continually believe in) God, and from heaven, God will act justly/fairly [toward us].
La vérité germera de la terre, et la justice regardera des cieux.
12 Yes, Yahweh will do good things [for us], and there will be great harvests in our land.
L'Éternel aussi donnera ses biens, et notre terre donnera ses fruits.
13 [Yahweh always acts] righteously [PRS, MET]; he acts righteously wherever he goes.
La justice marchera devant lui, et il la mettra partout où il passera.
