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,

In finem. Psalmus David. In Domino confido; quomodo dicitis animæ meæ: Transmigra in montem sicut passer?

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].

Quoniam ecce peccatores intenderunt arcum; paraverunt sagittas suas in pharetra, ut sagittent in obscuro rectos corde:

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]

quoniam quæ perfecisti destruxerunt; justus autem, quid fecit?

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

Dominus in templo sancto suo; Dominus in cælo sedes ejus. Oculi ejus in pauperem respiciunt; palpebræ ejus interrogant filios hominum.

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].

Dominus interrogat justum et impium; qui autem diligit iniquitatem, odit animam suam.

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

Pluet super peccatores laqueos; ignis et sulphur, et spiritus procellarum, pars calicis eorum.

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

Quoniam justus Dominus, et justitias dilexit: æquitatem vidit vultus ejus.
