Salmos 11

1 En Yavé me refugio. ¿Cómo puedes decir a mi alma: Huye como ave a tu montaña?

I trust that Yahweh will protect [MTY] me. So do not [RHQ] say to me, “You need to escape/flee to the mountains like birds do,

2 Pues ahí están los perversos que tensan el arco. Preparan su flecha en la cuerda Para dispararla en la oscuridad a los de corazón recto.

because wicked people have hidden in the darkness, they have pulled back their bowstrings and aimed their arrows to shoot them at godly/righteous [IDM] people [like you].

3 Si son destruidos los fundamentos, ¿Qué puede hacer el justo?

When people are not punished for disobeying the laws, (what can righteous people do?/there is not much that righteous people can do.)” [RHQ]

4 Yavé está en su santo Templo. Yavé tiene en los cielos su trono. Sus ojos observan, Sus párpados examinan a los hijos de los hombres.

But Yahweh is sitting on his throne in his sacred temple in heaven, and he [SYN] watches everything that people do.

5 Yavé prueba al justo, Pero su alma aborrece al perverso Y al que ama violencia.

Yahweh examines what righteous people do and what wicked people do, and he hates those who like to perform violent actions [to injure others].

6 Hará llover carbones encendidos sobre los perversos, Fuego, azufre y viento abrasador. Tal será la porción de la copa de ellos.

He will send down [from the sky] flaming coals and burning sulfur, and send scorching hot winds to punish wicked people.

7 Porque Yavé es justo. Él ama la justicia. Los rectos contemplarán su rostro.

Yahweh is righteous and he loves those who act righteously; righteous people are able to come into his presence.
