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 songmeisteren; av David. Til Herren flyr eg inn; kor kann de då segja til mi sjæl: «Fly til dykkar fjell som ein fugl!

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 sjå, dei ugudlege spenner bogen, dei hev lagt si pil på strengen til å skjota i myrkret på dei trugne i hjarta.

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]

Når grunnvollarne vert nedrivne, kva kann då ein rettferdig gjera?»

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 sitt heilage tempel, Herrens kongsstol er i himmelen, hans augo skodar, ein blink av hans augo prøver menneskjeborni.

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].

Herren prøver den rettferdige; men den ugudlege og den som elskar vald, honom hatar hans sjæl.

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

Han skal lata snaror regna ned på dei ugudlege, eld og svåvel og glodheit vind vert deim tilmælt i deira staup.

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

For Herren er rettferdig, han elskar rettferd, den trugne skal skoda hans åsyn.
