Psaumes 30
1 Cantique de David sur l'hymne de la dédicace de la maison. Je t'exalte, Éternel, car tu m'as délivré, refusant à mes ennemis la joie de ma perte.
Yahweh, I praise you because you rescued me. You did not allow [me to die], [with the result that] my enemies could gloat/rejoice.
2 Éternel, mon Dieu! j'ai crié à toi, et tu m'as guéri.
Yahweh, my God, I called out for you to help [me when I was ill], and you healed me.
3 Éternel, tu as retiré mon âme des Enfers, et m'as rendu la vie, entre ceux qui descendent au tombeau. (Sheol h7585)
You saved/restored me when I was dying [MTY]. I was nearly dead, but you caused me to get well again. (Sheol h7585)
4 Chantez l'Éternel, vous ses bien-aimés, et louez son saint nom!
All you who belong to Yahweh, sing praise to him! Think about what [God], the holy one, has done, and thank him!
5 Car il est un instant pour son courroux, mais toute la vie pour son amour: le soir, la tristesse est notre hôte, et au matin, c'est l'allégresse.
When he becomes angry, he is angry for only a very short time [HYP], but he is good [to us] all of our life. We may cry during the night, but the next morning we will be joyful.
6 Et moi, je disais dans ma sécurité: A jamais je suis inébranlable!
As for me, when I had no troubles, I said [to myself], “No one will defeat me!”
7 Éternel, en ta grâce tu avais affermi ma montagne; mais tu cachas ta face, et je fus éperdu.
Yahweh, because you were good to me, at first you caused me to be safe [as though I was inside] [MET] a mountain. But then [I became ill, and I thought that] you had turned away from me, and I became afraid.
8 Éternel, je criai à toi, et je fis au Seigneur ma supplication:
[Then] I called out to you, and I pleaded for you [to help me].
9 « Qu'as-tu à faire de mon sang et de mon trépas? La poudre peut-elle te louer, et dire ta fidélité?
[I said], “Yahweh, (what will you gain if I die?/ you won’t gain anything if I die) [MTY]. (In what way will it benefit you?/it won’t benefit you at all) if I go to the place where the dead people are [RHQ]. Dead people are certainly not able to praise you [RHQ], and they are not able to tell others that you are trustworthy [RHQ]!
10 Ecoute, Éternel, et prends pitié de moi! Éternel, sois-moi secourable! »
Yahweh, listen to me, and be merciful to me! Yahweh, help me!”
11 Et tu changeas mon deuil en allégresse, tu délias mon cilice, et me donnas la joie pour ceinture,
But [now you have healed me], and you have caused me to change from being sad to dancing [joyfully]. You have taken away the clothes that showed that I was very sad and you have given me clothes that showed that I was [very] joyful.
12 afin que mon cœur te loue, et ne reste point muet. Éternel, mon Dieu, je veux te louer à jamais!
So I will not be silent; I will sing out [loudly] to praise you. Yahweh, you are my God, and I will thank you forever.
