Psalms 11

1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. In the LORD have I taken refuge; how say ye to my soul: 'Flee thou! to your mountain, ye birds'?

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

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

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

3 When the foundations are destroyed, what hath the righteous wrought?

Kad su temelji uzljuljani, što da učini pravednik?”

4 The LORD is in His holy temple, the LORD, His throne is in heaven; 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 The LORD trieth the righteous; 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 will cause to rain coals; fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.

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

7 For the LORD is righteous, He loveth righteousness; the upright shall behold His face.

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