Psalmorum 11

1 in finem psalmus David in Domino confido quomodo dicitis animae meae transmigra in montes sicut passer

For the Leader. A Psalm of David. In the LORD have I taken refuge; how say ye to my soul: 'Flee thou! to your mountain, ye birds'?

2 quoniam ecce peccatores intenderunt arcum paraverunt sagittas suas in faretra ut sagittent in obscuro rectos corde

For, lo, the wicked bend the bow, they have made ready their arrow upon the string, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

3 quoniam quae perfecisti destruxerunt iustus autem quid fecit

When the foundations are destroyed, what hath the righteous wrought?

4 Dominus in templo sancto suo Dominus in caelo sedis eius oculi eius in pauperem respiciunt palpebrae eius interrogant filios hominum

The LORD is in His holy temple, the LORD, His throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids try, the children of men.

5 Dominus interrogat iustum et impium qui autem diligit iniquitatem odit animam suam

The LORD trieth the righteous; but the wicked and him that loveth violence His soul hateth.

6 pluet super peccatores laqueos ignis et sulphur et spiritus procellarum pars calicis eorum

Upon the wicked He will cause to rain coals; fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.

7 quoniam iustus Dominus et iustitias dilexit aequitatem vidit vultus eius

For the LORD is righteous, He loveth righteousness; the upright shall behold His face.
