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,

Untuk pemimpin kor. Mazmur Daud. Aku berlindung pada TUHAN; tak ada gunanya berkata kepadaku, "Selamatkanlah dirimu seperti burung yang terbang ke gunung.

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].

Sebab orang jahat merentangkan busur dan memasang anak panahnya untuk membidikkannya di tempat yang gelap kepada orang yang jujur.

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]

Kalau tata tertib masyarakat berantakan, orang baik tidak berdaya."

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

TUHAN ada di Rumah-Nya yang suci, takhta-Nya ada di surga. Ia mengamati umat manusia dan mengetahui segala perbuatan mereka.

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].

TUHAN menguji orang baik dan orang jahat, Ia membenci orang yang suka akan kekerasan.

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

Orang jahat dihukum-Nya dengan malapetaka, dengan api, belerang dan angin yang menghanguskan.

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

Sebab TUHAN baik dan adil, Ia mengasihi orang yang berbuat baik; orang jujur akan melihat dan mengenal TUHAN.
