Psalms 11

1 I trust that Yahweh will protect [MTY] me. So do not [RHQ] say to me, “You need to escape/flee to the mountains like birds do,

Til Sangmesteren. Af David. Jeg tager min Tilflugt til HERREN! Hvor kan I sige til min Sjæl: »Fly som en Fugl til Bjergene!

2 because wicked people have hidden in the darkness, they have pulled back their bowstrings and aimed their arrows to shoot them at godly/righteous [IDM] people [like you].

Thi se, de gudløse spænder Buen, lægger Pilen til Rette paa Strengen for i Mørke at ramme de oprigtige af Hjertet.

3 When people are not punished for disobeying the laws, (what can righteous people do?/there is not much that righteous people can do.)” [RHQ]

Naar selv Grundpillerne styrter, hvad gør den retfærdige da?«

4 But Yahweh is sitting on his throne in his sacred temple in heaven, and he [SYN] watches everything that people do.

HERREN er i sin hellige Hal, i Himlen er HERRENS Trone; paa Jorderig skuer hans Øjne ned, hans Blik ransager Menneskens Børn;

5 Yahweh examines what righteous people do and what wicked people do, and he hates those who like to perform violent actions [to injure others].

retfærdige og gudløse ransager HERREN; dem, der elsker Uret, hader hans Sjæl;

6 He will send down [from the sky] flaming coals and burning sulfur, and send scorching hot winds to punish wicked people.

over gudløse sender han Regn af Gløder og Svovl, et Stormvejr er deres tilmaalte Bæger.

7 Yahweh is righteous and he loves those who act righteously; righteous people are able to come into his presence.

Thi retfærdig er HERREN, han elsker at øve Retfærd, de oprigtige skuer hans Aasyn!
