Psaumes 11

1 Au chef des chantres. De David. C’est en l’Éternel que je cherche un refuge. Comment pouvez-vous me dire: Fuis dans vos montagnes, comme un 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, les méchants bandent l’arc, Ils ajustent leur flèche sur la corde, Pour tirer dans l’ombre sur ceux dont le cœur est 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, Le juste, que ferait-il?

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 son saint temple, L’Éternel a son trône dans les cieux; Ses yeux regardent, Ses paupières sondent les fils de l’homme.

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; 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 fait pleuvoir sur les méchants Des charbons, du feu et du soufre; Un vent brûlant, c’est le calice qu’ils ont 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 l’Éternel est juste, il aime la justice; Les hommes droits contemplent sa face.

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