Psalms 11

1 To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David. In Jehovah have I put my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee [as] a bird to your mountain?

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

2 For behold, the wicked bend the bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may in darkness shoot at the upright in heart.

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

3 If the foundations be destroyed, what shall the righteous do?

Kad su temelji uzljuljani, što da učini pravednik?”

4 Jehovah [is] in the temple of his holiness; Jehovah, — his throne is in the heavens: his eyes behold, his eyelids try the children of men.

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

5 Jehovah trieth the righteous one; but the wicked, and him that loveth violence, his soul hateth.

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

6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone; and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

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

7 For righteous is Jehovah; he loveth righteousness, his countenance doth behold the upright.

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