Psaumes 11

1 Au maître de chant. De David. En Yahweh je me confie; comment dites-vous à mon âme: « Fuyez à votre montagne, comme l’oiseau.

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,

2 Car voici que les méchants bandent l’arc, ils ont ajusté leur flèche sur la corde, pour tirer dans l’ombre sur les hommes au cœur droit.

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].

3 Quand les fondements sont renversés, que peut faire le juste? »

When people are not punished for disobeying the laws, (what can righteous people do?/there is not much that righteous people can do.)” [RHQ]

4 Yahweh dans son saint temple, Yahweh, qui a son trône dans les cieux, a les yeux ouverts; ses paupières sondent les enfants des hommes.

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

5 Yahweh sonde le juste; il hait le méchant et celui qui se plaît à la violence.

Yahweh examines what righteous people do and what wicked people do, and he hates those who like to perform violent actions [to injure others].

6 Il fera pleuvoir sur les méchants des lacets, du feu et du soufre; un vent brûlant, voilà la coupe qu’ils auront en partage.

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

7 Car Yahweh est juste, il aime la justice; les hommes droits contempleront sa face.

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