PSALMISTES

(message des). « Le livre des Psaumes est dans la Bible ce qu'est le coeur dans l'être humain » (Jean Arndt). Il contient des prières qui enseignent à prier, des cantiques sur lesquels hommes et nations ont modelé leurs louanges, des confessions qui inspirent et expriment leurs repentirs. Un accent contenu d'espérance ou d'adoration traverse la plupart des psaumes. Cependant la vie du peuple hébreu, qui en forme la trame, était surtout une vie de luttes et de souffrances. Les auteurs sont entourés d'ennemis dont on sent la présence ténébreuse, même dans les psaumes les plus paisibles et les plus confiants (Ps 23:5). Le caractère pathétique de la vie, la succession inexorable des générations, la flétrissure du péché, l'approche de la mort laissant inachevée l'oeuvre commencée, autant de réalités qui impressionnaient fortement les psalmistes (Ps 90). Ceux qui pleurent le soir attendent avidement le retour des chants joyeux du matin (Ps 30:6). L'épreuve imposée à la foi par les anomalies de la vie présente fut pour quelques-uns des psalmistes la cause d'un doute passager (Ps 73:2). C'est « du fond de l'abîme » qu'ils crient à l'Éternel (Ps 130:1).

Mais la réalité de leur Dieu dépasse celle de ces tristes expériences. Les plus douloureuses ne sont que transitoires, Lui « a son trône dans les cieux » (Ps 11:4), « Ses années ne finiront point » (Ps 102:28). Il n'est pas une entité abstraite, impersonnelle, mais un Père qui a compassion de ses enfants (Ps 103:13), un ami qui aime ses amis, les hommes, et écoute leurs requêtes, un refuge, un rempart au jour de la détresse (Ps 46:2) et--bien qu'il soit le créateur puissant du ciel et de la terre (Ps 124:8) --tendre cependant comme une mère qui apaise et console son enfant (Ps 131:2), prompt à guérir ceux qui ont le coeur brisé et à bander leurs plaies (Ps 147:3). Cette expérience vivante de la personnalité de Dieu confère au livre des Psaumes sa sublime beauté. Il est, comme chacun de nous, une personne possédant son individualité. « Tu es avec Moi » (Ps 23:4). Sa présence est aussi certaine pour ceux qui se confient en Lui que la solidité des montagnes de Sion qui ne peuvent être ébranlées (Ps 125:1). L'homme qui croit en Dieu reste vaillamment attaché à son poste, celui du devoir, alors que d'autres succombent au découragement ou au désespoir (Ps 11:1-3). Le Ps 91 est le plus audacieusement optimiste du recueil. On sent que, pour l'auteur, le monde est rempli de périls et peuplé de démons qui le hantent à toute heure du jour et de la nuit ; mais il voit des anges lutter contre eux, des anges qui doucement « portent le pèlerin sur leurs mains de peur que son pied ne heurte contre une pierre » (Ps 91 et suivant).

Les psalmistes sont tellement dominés par la conviction de la justice et de la bonté de Dieu qu'ils les comparent aux spectacles les plus grandioses de la nature : les montagnes et l'immensité des mers (Ps 36:6 et suivant). La terre entière est pleine de la bonté de l'Éternel (Ps 33:5). Celui qui veut savoir combien il est bon n'a qu'à goûter et à voir (Ps 34:9). Sous le ciel de minuit constellé de myriades d'étoiles, qu'est-ce que l'homme ? Un atome insignifiant ; et cependant le Dieu qui régit l'univers se souvient de lui et lui accorde chaque jour sa grâce (Ps 8:4 et suivants). Voilà l'oeuvre divine essentielle. Du haut de Sa demeure céleste, Il se penche vers la terre, relève le petit de la poussière (Ps 113:5,7) et fait justice et droit à tous les opprimés (Ps 103:6).

Dieu se révèle :

1° dans la nature,

2° dans l'histoire,

3° dans l'Écriture,

4° dans le culte,

5° dans la communion personnelle avec Lui.

___________

1° Le ciel étoilé (Ps 8), le soleil éblouissant (Ps 19), la grande, vaste mer (Ps 104:25), les sources jaillissantes, les champs fertiles, les arbres majestueux : (Ps 104:10,17) à la vue de ces merveilles, les psalmistes se sentent en la présence de Dieu.

2° Cependant ils ont avec Lui une relation plus intime que celle-là. Ces spectacles de la nature qui « racontent Sa gloire » (Ps 19:1) ne manifestent pas son plan divin envers les hommes. Ce plan, cette volonté, c'est l'étude de l'histoire qui les révèle. L'amour en est l'essence. (Cf. le refrain du Ps 136 : « Sa miséricorde dure éternellement. ») Pourtant l'obstination de l'homme, sa désobéissance aux sages et justes exigences de Dieu ont souvent contraint cet amour à prendre la forme de la sévérité (Ps 78:21,31). La foi peut ainsi se fortifier au souvenir des jours anciens (Ps 143:5).

3° La volonté de Dieu écrite en lettres de flamme sur les pages de l'histoire s'exprimait aussi dans les Saintes Écritures, qui comprenaient le Pentateuque et probablement des fragments des livres historiques et prophétiques. Ses louanges y sont chantées dans un langage de paisible extase (Ps 19:7,11 Ps 119).

4° Les hommes qui adoraient l'Éternel dans Sa maison contemplaient Sa beauté (Ps 27:4). La seule pensée de participer à cette adoration les comblait de joie (Ps 122:1), car « c'est là que l'Éternel envoyait la bénédiction et la vie pour toujours » (Ps 133:3). L'éternel honneur des Psaumes--bien que la plupart aient été composés en vue du culte judaïque où les rites et les sacrifices tenaient une si grande place--est d'avoir fermement, et à maintes reprises, nié l'efficacité du sacrifice en lui-même. Il pouvait être un complément utile, important même, de l'adoration, mais à coup sûr non indispensable, ainsi que l'affirment les Ps 40, Ps 50 et Ps 51.

5° La communion avec Dieu se réalisait dans la prière (Ps 55:17), mais le mal interrompt cette communion. Le péché qui n'a pas été pardonné paralyse le pécheur et l'accable sous le poids de la condamnation (Ps 130:3 143:2) - Point de santé ni de bonheur pour lui jusqu'à ce qu'il ait avec sincérité confessé son péché. Alors Dieu, qui possède à la fois la volonté et le pouvoir dé délivrer (Ps 130:7 et suivant), enveloppera le pécheur repentant de Son pardon, de Son amour (Ps 32:5 et suivant), et la communion joyeuse interrompue sera rétablie.

La confiance en Dieu dont « les compassions s'étendent sur toutes Ses oeuvres » (Ps 145:9) remplit le coeur d'une quiétude et d'une assurance telles que, même au milieu du danger, nous pouvons dormir en paix avec la certitude que notre Dieu nous soutiendra (Ps 3:6 4:8). Quel que soit le devoir à remplir ou l'obstacle à surmonter, nous pouvons sans crainte aller de l'avant : « En Dieu je me confie, je ne crains rien, que pourrait me faire l'homme mortel ? » (Ps 56:5 118:6). Cette certitude n'était pas toujours facilement obtenue. L'auteur du Ps 73, l'un des plus sublimes du recueil, avait fait l'expérience troublante du doute ; mais un jour, il fut illuminé par la révélation du grand mystère : quels qu'aient été ses malheurs et ses privations, Dieu était avec lui constamment, et lui avec Dieu. Dieu seul lui restait, mais Dieu était tout ; et avec Lui, même dans la défaite et la détresse, il pouvait conserver la paix. Quand même son coeur et sa chair seraient consumés, Dieu serait son rocher et son partage pour toujours (Ps 73:23-26).

Telle est, écrite en lettres d'or, l'une des grandes vérités de l'Ancien Testament. J. E. McF.

      Psaumes 3

      6 I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.

      Psaumes 4

      8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Yahweh alone, make me live in safety.

      Psaumes 8

      1 <> Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth, who has set your glory above the heavens!
      2 From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.
      3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;
      4 what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?
      5 For you have made him a little lower than God, and crowned him with glory and honor.
      6 You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:
      7 All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,
      8 The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
      9 Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

      Psaumes 11

      1 <> In Yahweh, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, "Flee as a bird to your mountain!"
      2 For, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
      3 If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?
      4 Yahweh is in his holy temple. Yahweh is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.

      Psaumes 19

      1 <> The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
      2 Day after day they pour forth speech, and night after night they display knowledge.
      3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
      4 Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
      5 which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
      6 His going forth is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends; There is nothing hidden from its heat.
      7 Yahweh's law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh's testimony is sure, making wise the simple.
      8 Yahweh's precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. Yahweh's commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
      9 The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever. Yahweh's ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
      10 More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
      11 Moreover by them is your servant warned. In keeping them there is great reward.
      12 Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.
      13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.
      14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer.

      Psaumes 23

      4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
      5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.

      Psaumes 27

      4 One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life, to see Yahweh's beauty, and to inquire in his temple.

      Psaumes 30

      6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved."

      Psaumes 32

      5 I acknowledged my sin to you. I didn't hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

      Psaumes 33

      5 He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh.

      6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. Yahweh, you preserve man and animal.

      Psaumes 40

      1 <> I waited patiently for Yahweh. He turned to me, and heard my cry.
      2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand.
      3 He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in Yahweh.
      4 Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust, and doesn't respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
      5 Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can't be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
      6 Sacrifice and offering you didn't desire. You have opened my ears. You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.
      7 Then I said, "Behold, I have come. It is written about me in the book in the scroll.
      8 I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your law is within my heart."
      9 I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I will not seal my lips, Yahweh, you know.
      10 I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart. I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation. I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly.
      11 Don't withhold your tender mercies from me, Yahweh. Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.
      12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head. My heart has failed me.
      13 Be pleased, Yahweh, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, Yahweh.
      14 Let them be disappointed and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.
      15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, "Aha! Aha!"
      16 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let such as love your salvation say continually, "Let Yahweh be exalted!"
      17 But I am poor and needy. May the Lord think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Don't delay, my God.

      Psaumes 46

      2 Therefore we won't be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;

      Psaumes 50

      2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.
      3 Our God comes, and does not keep silent. A fire devours before him. It is very stormy around him.
      4 He calls to the heavens above, to the earth, that he may judge his people:
      5 "Gather my saints together to me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice."
      6 The heavens shall declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge. Selah.
      7 "Hear, my people, and I will speak; Israel, and I will testify against you. I am God, your God.
      8 I don't rebuke you for your sacrifices. Your burnt offerings are continually before me.
      9 I have no need for a bull from your stall, nor male goats from your pens.
      10 For every animal of the forest is mine, and the livestock on a thousand hills.
      11 I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals of the field are mine.
      12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
      13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
      14 Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High.
      15 Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me."
      16 But to the wicked God says, "What right do you have to declare my statutes, that you have taken my covenant on your lips,
      17 since you hate instruction, and throw my words behind you?
      18 When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have participated with adulterers.
      19 "You give your mouth to evil. Your tongue frames deceit.
      20 You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother's son.
      21 You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.
      22 "Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you into pieces, and there be none to deliver.
      23 Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me, and prepares his way so that I will show God's salvation to him."

      Psaumes 51

      1 <> Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
      2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity. Cleanse me from my sin.
      3 For I know my transgressions. My sin is constantly before me.
      4 Against you, and you only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight; that you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge.
      5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity. In sin my mother conceived me.
      6 Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
      7 Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
      8 Let me hear joy and gladness, That the bones which you have broken may rejoice.
      9 Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all of my iniquities.
      10 Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.
      11 Don't throw me from your presence, and don't take your holy Spirit from me.
      12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Uphold me with a willing spirit.
      13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways. Sinners shall be converted to you.
      14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation. My tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness.
      15 Lord, open my lips. My mouth shall declare your praise.
      16 For you don't delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it. You have no pleasure in burnt offering.
      17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
      18 Do well in your good pleasure to Zion. Build the walls of Jerusalem.
      19 Then you will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings. Then they will offer bulls on your altar.

      Psaumes 55

      17 Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.

      Psaumes 56

      5 All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.

      Psaumes 73

      2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped.
      3 For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
      4 For there are no struggles in their death, but their strength is firm.
      5 They are free from burdens of men, neither are they plagued like other men.
      6 Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment.
      7 Their eyes bulge with fat. Their minds pass the limits of conceit.
      8 They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression.
      9 They have set their mouth in the heavens. Their tongue walks through the earth.
      10 Therefore their people return to them, and they drink up waters of abundance.
      11 They say, "How does God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?"
      12 Behold, these are the wicked. Being always at ease, they increase in riches.
      13 Surely in vain I have cleansed my heart, and washed my hands in innocence,
      14 For all day long have I been plagued, and punished every morning.
      15 If I had said, "I will speak thus"; behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children.
      16 When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me;
      17 Until I entered God's sanctuary, and considered their latter end.
      18 Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.
      19 How they are suddenly destroyed! They are completely swept away with terrors.
      20 As a dream when one wakes up, so, Lord, when you awake, you will despise their fantasies.
      21 For my soul was grieved. I was embittered in my heart.
      22 I was so senseless and ignorant. I was a brute beast before you.
      23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You have held my right hand.
      24 You will guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
      25 Whom do I have in heaven? There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you.
      26 My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
      27 For, behold, those who are far from you shall perish. You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to you.
      28 But it is good for me to come close to God. I have made the Lord Yahweh my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.

      Psaumes 78

      21 Therefore Yahweh heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, anger also went up against Israel,
      31 when the anger of God went up against them, killed some of their fattest, and struck down the young men of Israel.

      Psaumes 90

      2 Before the mountains were brought forth, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
      3 You turn man to destruction, saying, "Return, you children of men."
      4 For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.
      5 You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.
      6 In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.
      7 For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.
      8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
      9 For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
      10 The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away.
      11 Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?
      12 So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
      13 Relent, Yahweh! How long? Have compassion on your servants!
      14 Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
      15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.
      16 Let your work appear to your servants; your glory to their children.
      17 Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us; establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands.

      Psaumes 91

      1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
      2 I will say of Yahweh, "He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust."
      3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.
      4 He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.
      5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day;
      6 nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.
      7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.
      8 You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.
      9 Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,
      10 no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
      11 For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.
      12 They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won't dash your foot against a stone.
      13 You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.
      14 "Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.
      15 He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.
      16 I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation."

      Psaumes 102

      28 The children of your servants will continue. Their seed will be established before you."

      Psaumes 103

      6 Yahweh executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.
      13 Like a father has compassion on his children, so Yahweh has compassion on those who fear him.

      Psaumes 104

      10 He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.
      17 where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the fir trees.
      25 There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals.

      Psaumes 113

      5 Who is like Yahweh, our God, who has his seat on high,
      7 He raises up the poor out of the dust. Lifts up the needy from the ash heap;

      Psaumes 118

      6 Yahweh is on my side. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

      Psaumes 119

      1 <> Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to Yahweh's law.
      2 Blessed are those who keep his statutes, who seek him with their whole heart.
      3 Yes, they do nothing wrong. They walk in his ways.
      4 You have commanded your precepts, that we should fully obey them.
