Psaumes 11

1 Psaume de David, [donné] au maître chantre. Je me suis retiré vers l'Eternel; comment [donc] dites-vous à mon âme: Fuis-t'en en votre montagne, oiseau?

For the end, a Psalm of David. In the Lord I have put my trust: how will you say to my soul, Flee to the mountains as a sparrow?

2 En effet, les méchants bandent l'arc, ils ont ajusté leur flèche sur la corde, pour tirer en secret contre ceux qui sont droits de cœur.

For behold the sinners have bent their [bow], they have prepared their arrows for the quiver, to shoot For privily at the upright in heart.

3 Puisque les fondements sont ruinés, que fera le juste?

For they have pulled down what you did frame, but what has the righteous done?

4 L'Eternel est au palais de sa Sainteté; l'Eternel a son Trône aux cieux; ses yeux contemplent, [et] ses paupières sondent les fils des hommes.

The Lord is in his holy temple, as for the Lord, his throne is in heaven: his eyes look upon the poor, his eyelids try the sons of men.

5 L'Eternel sonde le juste et le méchant; et son âme hait celui qui aime la violence.

The Lord tries the righteous and the ungodly: and he that loves unrighteousness hates his own soul.

6 Il fera pleuvoir sur les méchants des filets, du feu, et du souffre; et un vent de tempête sera la portion de leur breuvage.

He shall rain upon sinners snares, fire, and brimstone, and a stormy blast [shall be] the portion of their cup.

7 Car l'Eternel juste aime la justice, ses yeux contemplent l'homme droit.

For the Lord [is] righteous, and loves righteousness; his face beholds uprightness.
