Psaumes 11

1 Jusqu'à la Fin, psaume de David. Je me confie au Seigneur; comment dites- vous à mon âme: Fuyez sur la montagne, comme un passereau?

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 pécheurs ont tendu leur arc; la flèche est prête dans le carquois, afin de percer dans l'obscurité de la nuit 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 Ils ont détruit ce que tu as fait; mais le juste, qu'a-t-il fait?

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 Le Seigneur réside en son temple saint; le Seigneur a son trône au ciel; ses yeux sont fixés sur le pauvre; ses regards interrogent 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 Le Seigneur interroge le juste et l'impie; celui qui aime l'iniquité hait son âme.

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 les pièges sur les pécheurs; le fer, le soufre, le vent d'orage, sont une part de leur calice.

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

7 Car le Seigneur est juste, et il a toujours aimé la justice; sa face regarde l'équité.

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