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,

Au maître-chantre. Psaume de David. Je me suis retiré vers l'Éternel; comment donc dites-vous à mon âme: Fuyez en votre montagne, comme l'oiseau?

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].

Car voici, les méchants bandent l'arc; ils ont ajusté leur flèche sur la corde, pour tirer dans l'ombre, sur ceux qui ont le cœur droit.

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]

Quand les fondements sont renversés, le juste, que fera-t-il?

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

L'Éternel est dans le temple de sa sainteté; l'Éternel a son trône dans les cieux. Ses yeux contemplent, ses paupières sondent les fils des hommes.

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].

L'Éternel sonde le juste; mais son âme hait le méchant et celui qui aime la violence.

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

Il fera pleuvoir sur les méchants des filets, du feu et du soufre, et le vent embrasé sera leur partage.

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

Car l'Éternel juste aime la justice; les hommes droits contempleront sa face.
