Psalms 9:1
French (La Bible expliquée)
Du répertoire du chef de chorale. Accompagnement à l'aigu. Psaume appartenant au recueil de David. Ici, le croyant témoigne du drame national auquel il participe. Mais il exprime son assurance: le Seigneur, juge impartial, va intervenir en faveur de son peuple. Dieu sait jauger les individus comme les nations. Les pièges tendus dans l'ombre n'échappent pas à sa clairvoyance. Dès lors, l'espérance est possible pour les communautés opprimées, pour les nations accablées par les guerres ou saignées à blanc par les impératifs d'une économie axée sur le profit. Les situations apparemment les plus désespérées peuvent toujours se résoudre. La lutte pour la justice trouve son fondement et son inspiration dans l'engagement ferme du Seigneur en faveur des malheureux.
