Psalmorum 11

1 in finem psalmus David in Domino confido quomodo dicitis animae meae transmigra in montes 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 faretra 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 quae perfecisti destruxerunt iustus autem quid fecit

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

4 Dominus in templo sancto suo Dominus in caelo sedis eius oculi eius in pauperem respiciunt palpebrae eius 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 iustum 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 iustus Dominus et iustitias dilexit aequitatem vidit vultus eius

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