Psalmorum 11

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

“To the chief musician, by David.” In the Lord have I put my trust: how can ye say to my soul, Flee to your mountain as a bird?

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

For lo, the wicked bend their bow, they arrange their arrow upon the string, to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart.

3 quoniam quae perfecisti destruxerunt iustus autem quid fecit

For [if] the foundations be torn down, what can the righteous do?

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 hath his throne in the heavens, his eyes behold, his eyelids prove, the children of men.

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

The Lord proveth 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

He letteth rain upon the wicked burning coals, fire and brimstone; and a glowing wind is the portion of their cup.

7 quoniam iustus Dominus et iustitias dilexit aequitatem vidit vultus eius

For righteous is the Lord, he loveth righteousness: his countenance doth behold the upright.
