Al director musical. Salmo de David.

11 En el Señor hallo refugio.
    ¿Cómo, pues, os atrevéis a decirme:
    «Huye al monte, como las aves»?
Ved cómo tensan sus arcos los malvados:
    preparan las flechas sobre la cuerda
    para disparar desde las sombras
    contra los rectos de corazón.
Cuando los fundamentos son destruidos,
    ¿qué le queda al justo?

El Señor está en su santo templo,
    en los cielos tiene el Señor su trono,
y atentamente observa al ser humano;
    con sus propios ojos lo examina.
El Señor examina a justos y a malvados,
    y aborrece a los que aman la violencia.
Hará llover sobre los malvados
    ardientes brasas y candente azufre;
    ¡un viento abrasador será su suerte!

Justo es el Señor, y ama la justicia;
    por eso los íntegros contemplarán su rostro.

The Lord Is in His Holy Temple

To the choirmaster. Of David.

11 In the Lord I take refuge;
how can you say to my soul,
    (A)Flee like a bird to your mountain,
for behold, the wicked (B)bend the bow;
    (C)they have fitted their arrow to the string
    to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart;
if (D)the foundations are destroyed,
    what can the righteous do?[a]

(E)The Lord is in his holy temple;
    the Lord's (F)throne is in heaven;
    his eyes see, his eyelids (G)test the children of man.
The Lord (H)tests the righteous,
    but (I)his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.
Let him rain coals on the wicked;
    (J)fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be (K)the portion of their cup.
For the Lord is righteous;
he (L)loves righteous deeds;
    (M)the upright shall behold his face.
