Psalmorum 11

1 In finem. Psalmus David. [In Domino confido; quomodo dicitis animæ meæ: Transmigra in montem sicut passer?

TO THE OVERSEER. BY DAVID. In YHWH I trusted, how do you say to my soul, “They moved to your mountain [as] the bird?”

2 Quoniam ecce peccatores intenderunt arcum; paraverunt sagittas suas in pharetra, ut sagittent in obscuro rectos corde:

For behold, the wicked bend a bow, They have prepared their arrow on the string, To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

3 quoniam quæ perfecisti destruxerunt; justus autem, quid fecit?

When the foundations are destroyed, The righteous—what has he done?

4 Dominus in templo sancto suo; Dominus in cælo sedes ejus. Oculi ejus in pauperem respiciunt; palpebræ ejus interrogant filios hominum.

YHWH [is] in His holy temple: YHWH—His throne [is] in the heavens. His eyes see—His eyelids try the sons of men.

5 Dominus interrogat justum et impium; qui autem diligit iniquitatem, odit animam suam.

YHWH tries the righteous. And the wicked and the lover of violence, His soul has hated,

6 Pluet super peccatores laqueos; ignis et sulphur, et spiritus procellarum, pars calicis eorum.

He pours on the wicked snares, fire, and brimstone, And a horrible wind [is] the portion of their cup.

7 Quoniam justus Dominus, et justitias dilexit: æquitatem vidit vultus ejus.]

For YHWH [is] righteous, He has loved righteousness, His countenance sees the upright!
