Psalmi 11

1 Svoje trdno upanje polagam v Gospoda. Kako pravite moji duši: »Béži kakor ptica k svoji gori?«

For the music director: A psalm of David. Lord, you are my protection. So how can you tell me, “Fly away to the mountains like a bird”?

2 Kajti glej, zlobni upogibajo svoj lok, svojo puščico pripravljajo na tetivo, da bi lahko na skrivaj streljali na iskrenega v srcu.

Look, the wicked are drawing their bows, loading them with arrows ready to shoot from the shadows at good people.

3 Če so temelji razrušeni, kaj lahko stori pravični?

When the foundations of society are destroyed, what can those who live right do?

4 Gospod je v svojem svetem templju, Gospodov prestol je na nebu. Njegove oči gledajo, njegove veke preizkušajo človeške otroke.

The Lord is in his Temple; the Lord's throne is in heaven. He keeps a close eye on everyone, watching them carefully.

5 Gospod preizkuša pravičnega. Toda zlobnega in tistega, ki ljubi nasilje, sovraži njegova duša.

The Lord examines both those who do right and those who do evil, but he hates those who love violence.

6 Na zlobne bo deževal pasti, ogenj, žveplo in strašen vihar. To bo delež njihove skodelice.

He will make blazing coals and sulfur rain down on the wicked; a scorching wind is what's coming on them.

7 Kajti pravičen Gospod ljubi pravičnost, njegovo obličje gleda iskrenega.

The Lord does what is right, and he loves those who live right. Those who do good will see him face to face.
