Psalms 11

1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. I trust in the Lord. How can you say to my soul, “Sojourn to the mountain, like a sparrow.”

【義人依靠天主】上主是我的避難所，你們怎麼能對我說：像隻小鳥，飛往深山！

2 For behold, the sinners have bent their bow. They have prepared their arrows in the quiver, so as to shoot arrows in the dark at the upright of heart.

看，惡人挽弓搭箭，向心誠的人暗算。

3 For they have destroyed the things that you have completed. But what has the just one done?

基礎既已全部崩潰，義人還能有何作為？

4 The Lord is in his holy temple. The Lord’s throne is in heaven. His eyes look upon the poor. His eyelids question the sons of men.

上主住在自己的聖殿，上主的寶座設於天；祂的眼睛垂視，祂的目光細察人子，

5 The Lord questions the just and the impious. Yet he who loves iniquity, hates his own soul.

上主審察著義人與惡人；全心痛恨那愛蠻橫的人，

6 He will rain down snares upon sinners. Fire and brimstone and windstorms will be the portion of their cup.

上主使火碳硫磺降於惡人之身，乾燥的熱風將是他們杯中之分。

7 For the Lord is just, and he has chosen justice. His countenance has beheld equity.

上主是正義的，上主酷愛公正，心誠的人必得見祂的儀容
