Psalmen 11

1Unto the end. A psalm for David.

2In the Lord I put my trust: how then do you say to my soul: Get thee away from hence to the mountain like a sparrow?

3For, lo, the wicked have bent their bow; they have prepared their arrows in the quiver; to shoot in the dark the upright of heart.

4For they have destroyed the things which thou hast made: but what has the just man done?

5The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord’s throne is in heaven. His eyes look on the poor man: his eyelids examine the sons of men.

6The Lord trieth the just and the wicked: but he that loveth iniquity hateth his own soul.

7He shall rain snares upon sinners: fire and brimstone and storms of winds shall be the portion of their cup.

8For the Lord is just, and hath loved justice: his countenance hath beheld righteousness.

1In finem. Psalmus David.

2[In Domino confido; quomodo dicitis animæ meæ: Transmigra in montem sicut passer?

3Quoniam ecce peccatores intenderunt arcum; paraverunt sagittas suas in pharetra, ut sagittent in obscuro rectos corde:

4quoniam quæ perfecisti destruxerunt; justus autem, quid fecit?

5Dominus in templo sancto suo; Dominus in cælo sedes ejus. Oculi ejus in pauperem respiciunt; palpebræ ejus interrogant filios hominum.

6Dominus interrogat justum et impium; qui autem diligit iniquitatem, odit animam suam.

7Pluet super peccatores laqueos; ignis et sulphur, et spiritus procellarum, pars calicis eorum.

8Quoniam justus Dominus, et justitias dilexit: æquitatem vidit vultus ejus.]

1Unto the end. A Psalm of David.

2I trust in the Lord. How can you say to my soul, “Sojourn to the mountain, like a sparrow.”

3For behold, the sinners have bent their bow. They have prepared their arrows in the quiver, so as to shoot arrows in the dark at the upright of heart.

4For they have destroyed the things that you have completed. But what has the just one done?

5The Lord is in his holy temple. The Lord’s throne is in heaven. His eyes look upon the poor. His eyelids question the sons of men.

6The Lord questions the just and the impious. Yet he who loves iniquity, hates his own soul.

7He will rain down snares upon sinners. Fire and brimstone and windstorms will be the portion of their cup.

8For the Lord is just, and he has chosen justice. His countenance has beheld equity.
