Psaumes 11

1 Au chef de musique. De David. Je me suis confié en l’Éternel; – pourquoi dites-vous à mon âme: Oiseau, envole-toi vers votre montagne?

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, les méchants bandent l’arc, ils ajustent leur flèche sur la corde, pour tirer dans les ténèbres sur ceux qui sont droits de cœur.

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 Si les fondements sont détruits, que fera 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 L’Éternel est dans le palais de sa sainteté, l’Éternel a son trône dans les cieux; ses yeux voient, ses paupières sondent les fils des hommes.

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

5 L’Éternel sonde le juste et le méchant; et celui qui aime la violence, son âme le hait.

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 pièges, du feu et du soufre; et un vent brûlant sera la portion de leur coupe.

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

7 Car l’Éternel juste aime la justice; sa face regarde l’homme droit.

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