< Psalms 11 >
1 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?
Svoje trdno upanje polagam v Gospoda. Kako pravite moji duši: »Béži kakor ptica k svoji gori?«
2 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.
Kajti glej, zlobni upogibajo svoj lok, svojo puščico pripravljajo na tetivo, da bi lahko na skrivaj streljali na iskrenega v srcu.
3 If the bases are broken down, what is the upright man to do?
Če so temelji razrušeni, kaj lahko stori pravični?
4 The Lord is in his holy Temple, the Lord's seat is in heaven; his eyes are watching and testing the children of men.
Gospod je v svojem svetem templju, Gospodov prestol je na nebu. Njegove oči gledajo, njegove veke preizkušajo človeške otroke.
5 The Lord puts the upright and the sinner to the test, but he has hate in his soul for the lover of violent acts.
Gospod preizkuša pravičnega. Toda zlobnega in tistega, ki ljubi nasilje, sovraži njegova duša.
6 On the evil-doer he will send down fire and flames, and a burning wind; with these will their cup be full.
Na zlobne bo deževal pasti, ogenj, žveplo in strašen vihar. To bo delež njihove skodelice.
7 For the Lord is upright; he is a lover of righteousness: the upright will see his face.
Kajti pravičen Gospod ljubi pravičnost, njegovo obličje gleda iskrenega.
