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,

To the Chief Musician. David’s. In Yahweh, have I sought refuge. How can ye say to my soul, Flee to a mountain like a little bird;

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].

For lo! the lawless, bend the bow They have fixed their arrow upon the string, To shoot in the darkness at the upright in heart:

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]

When the pillars are overthrown, What could, a righteous man, do?

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

Yahweh, is in his holy temple As for Yahweh, in the heavens, is his throne, His eyes, behold—His eyelashes test the sons of men.

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].

Yahweh, putteth, the righteous, to the test, —But the lawless one and the lover of violence, his soul doth hate.

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

He will rain upon the lawless live-coals, Fire and brimstone and a burning wind, are the portion of their cup.

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

For righteous is Yahweh Righteousness, he loveth, the upright, shall behold his face.
