Psaumes 5
1 Au maître chantre. Avec les flûtes. Cantique de David, Prête l'oreille à mes paroles, Éternel! sois attentif à mes soupirs!
Yahweh, listen to me while I pray! Pay attention to me when I am groaning [because I am suffering very much].
2 Ecoute ma voix qui appelle, ô mon Roi! ô mon Dieu! car c'est toi que je prie.
You are my King and my God. When I call to you to ask you to help me, listen to me, because you are the one to whom I pray.
3 Éternel, dès le matin tu entends ma voix, dès le matin je me tourne vers toi, et j'attends.
Listen to me when I pray to you [each] morning, and I wait for you to reply.
4 Car tu n'es point un Dieu qui aime l'impiété; le méchant chez toi n'est point accueilli;
You are not a god who is pleased with wicked people; you do not (associate with/invite into your house) [those who do what is] evil.
5 les superbes n'osent paraître à tes yeux; tu hais tous ceux qui font le mal;
You do not allow those who are very proud to come to you to worship you. You hate all those who do evil things.
6 tu détruis les menteurs, et les hommes de sang et de fraude, l'Éternel les abhorre.
You get rid of liars, and you despise those who murder [others] and those who deceive [others].
7 Mais moi, par ton grand amour, je viens dans ta maison, je me prosterne dans ton saint temple, en ta crainte.
Yahweh, because you love me so much and so faithfully, I come into your temple. I revere you greatly, and I bow down to worship you at your sacred temple.
8 Éternel, fais-moi marcher dans ta justice, à cause de mes ennemis! Aplanis devant moi ta voie!
Yahweh, because you act righteously toward me, show me what is right for me to do. Because I have many enemies, show me clearly what you want me to do.
9 Car dans leur bouche il n'y a point de vérité, dans leur cœur, c'est envie de nuire, leur gosier est un sépulcre ouvert, et ils rendent leur langue flatteuse.
My enemies never say what is true; they just want to destroy [others]. The things that they say [MTY] are [as foul as] an open grave [where a corpse is decaying]. They use their tongues to tell lies.
10 Punis-les, ô Dieu! déjoue leurs projets! A cause de leurs nombreux crimes, renverse-les! car ils se rebellent contre toi.
O God, declare that they are guilty [MTY] [and punish them]. Cause them to experience the same disasters/troubles that they plan to cause to happen to others. Get rid of them because they have committed many sins, and they have rebelled against you.
11 Alors se réjouiront tous ceux qui se confient en toi; et ils te célébreront à jamais, parce que tu les protèges; et tu seras l'allégresse de tous ceux qui aiment ton nom.
But cause that all those who go to you to be protected will rejoice; cause them to sing joyfully to you forever. Protect those who love you [MTY]; they are truly happy because (of what you [do for them/they belong to] you).
12 Car tu bénis le juste, ô Éternel; comme d'un bouclier tu l'entoures de grâce.
Yahweh, you always bless those who act righteously; you protect them like a [soldier is protected by his] shield [SIM].
