Psalms 11

1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David. I take refuge in Yahweh; how will you say to me, “Flee like a bird to the mountain”?

【義人依靠天主】上主是我的避難所，你們怎麼能對我說：像隻小鳥，飛往深山！

2 For see! The wicked prepare their bows. They make ready their arrows on the strings to shoot in the darkness at the upright in heart.

看，惡人挽弓搭箭，向心誠的人暗算。

3 For if the foundations are ruined, what can the righteous do?

基礎既已全部崩潰，義人還能有何作為？

4 Yahweh is in his holy temple; his eyes watch, his eyes examine the children of mankind.

上主住在自己的聖殿，上主的寶座設於天；祂的眼睛垂視，祂的目光細察人子，

5 Yahweh examines both the righteous and the wicked, but he hates those who love to do violence.

上主審察著義人與惡人；全心痛恨那愛蠻橫的人，

6 He rains burning coals and brimstone upon the wicked; a scorching wind will be their portion from his cup!

上主使火碳硫磺降於惡人之身，乾燥的熱風將是他們杯中之分。

7 For Yahweh is righteous, and he loves righteousness; the upright will see his face.

上主是正義的，上主酷愛公正，心誠的人必得見祂的儀容
