Psalmi 11

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

For the music director: A psalm of David. Lord, you are my protection. So how can you tell me, “Fly away to the mountains like a bird”?

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

Look, the wicked are drawing their bows, loading them with arrows ready to shoot from the shadows at good people.

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

When the foundations of society are destroyed, what can those who live right do?

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

The Lord is in his Temple; the Lord's throne is in heaven. He keeps a close eye on everyone, watching them carefully.

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

The Lord examines both those who do right and those who do evil, but he hates those who love violence.

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

He will make blazing coals and sulfur rain down on the wicked; a scorching wind is what's coming on them.

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

The Lord does what is right, and he loves those who live right. Those who do good will see him face to face.
