Psalmi 11

1 Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Jahvi se utječem! Zašto dakle govorite duši mojoj: “Odleti u goru kao ptica!

For the chief music-maker. Of David. In the Lord put I my faith; how will you say to my soul, Go in flight like a bird to the mountain?

2 Gle, bezbožnici već luk napeše, za tetivu strijelu zapeše da iz potaje ustrijele pravednika.

See, the bows of the evil-doers are bent, they make ready their arrows on the cord, so that they may send them secretly against the upright in heart.

3 Kad su temelji uzljuljani, što da učini pravednik?”

If the bases are broken down, what is the upright man to do?

4 Jahve je u svom svetom Hramu, na nebeskom sjedi prijestolju. Oči njegove motre, vjeđama proniče sinove ljudske.

The Lord is in his holy Temple, the Lord's seat is in heaven; his eyes are watching and testing the children of men.

5 Jahve proniče pravedna i nepravedna, iz dna duše mrzi silnika.

The Lord puts the upright and the sinner to the test, but he has hate in his soul for the lover of violent acts.

6 Na grešnike će izlit' žeravu i sumpor, vjetar ognjeni bit će dio njine sudbine.

On the evil-doer he will send down fire and flames, and a burning wind; with these will their cup be full.

7 Pravedan je Jahve i pravednost ljubi, čestiti će gledat' lice njegovo.

For the Lord is upright; he is a lover of righteousness: the upright will see his face.
