Psalmi 11

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

For the leader. Of David. In the Lord I take refuge. How can you tell me to flee like a bird to the mountains?

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

‘See! The wicked are bending the bow, their arrow is set on the string, to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.

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

In this tearing down of foundations what good can a good person do?’

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

The Lord in his holy temple, the Lord in heaven, enthroned. His eyes watch the world, they see everyone.

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

The Lord examines the righteous and wicked, and the lover of violence he hates.

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

On the wicked he rains coals of fire and brimstone, and their drink will be scorching wind.

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

For the Lord is just, and justice he loves; so the upright will see his face.
