< Psalmorum 11 >

1 in finem psalmus David in Domino confido quomodo dicitis animae meae transmigra in montes sicut passer
For the Chief Musician. By David. In the LORD, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain”?
2 quoniam ecce peccatores intenderunt arcum paraverunt sagittas suas in faretra ut sagittent in obscuro rectos corde
For, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
3 quoniam quae perfecisti destruxerunt iustus autem quid fecit
If the foundations are destroyed, 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 is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.
5 Dominus interrogat iustum et impium qui autem diligit iniquitatem odit animam suam
The LORD examines the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and him who loves violence.
6 pluet super peccatores laqueos ignis et sulphur et spiritus procellarum pars calicis eorum
On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulphur, and scorching 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 loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.
