Psalms 11

1 To the Overseer. — By David. In Jehovah I trusted, how say ye to my soul, 'They moved [to] Thy mountain for the bird?

Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Jahvi se utječem! Zašto dakle govorite duši mojoj: “Odleti u goru kao ptica!

2 For lo, the wicked tread a bow, They have prepared their arrow on the string, To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

Gle, bezbožnici već luk napeše, za tetivu strijelu zapeše da iz potaje ustrijele pravednika.

3 When the foundations are destroyed, The righteous — what hath he done?

Kad su temelji uzljuljani, što da učini pravednik?”

4 'Jehovah [is] in his holy temple: Jehovah — in the heavens [is] His throne. His eyes see — His eyelids try the sons of men.

Jahve je u svom svetom Hramu, na nebeskom sjedi prijestolju. Oči njegove motre, vjeđama proniče sinove ljudske.

5 Jehovah the righteous doth try. And the wicked and the lover of violence, Hath His soul hated,

Jahve proniče pravedna i nepravedna, iz dna duše mrzi silnika.

6 He poureth on the wicked snares, fire, and brimstone, And a horrible wind [is] the portion of their cup.

Na grešnike će izlit' žeravu i sumpor, vjetar ognjeni bit će dio njine sudbine.

7 For righteous [is] Jehovah, Righteousness He hath loved, The upright doth His countenance see!'

Pravedan je Jahve i pravednost ljubi, čestiti će gledat' lice njegovo.
