Un abri sûr
11 Au chef de chœur. Un psaume de David.
Oui, j’ai fait mon refuge ╵de l’Eternel.
Pourquoi alors me répéter :
« Prends ton vol, comme un passereau, ╵afin de fuir dans les montagnes[a] » ?
2 Vois les méchants bander leur arc,
poser leur flèche sur la corde
pour tirer dans l’obscurité ╵sur ceux dont le cœur est intègre.
3 Lorsque les fondements vacillent,
que peut bien faire l’homme droit ?
4 L’Eternel est dans son saint temple,
l’Eternel a son trône au ciel,
de ses yeux il observe :
il sonde les humains,
5 l’Eternel sonde ╵ceux qui sont justes, ╵mais il déteste le méchant
et l’homme épris de violence.
6 Il fait pleuvoir sur les méchants
du charbon[b], du feu et du soufre.
Il les expose au vent brûlant[c] : ╵voilà la part qu’il leur réserve.
7 Car l’Eternel est un Dieu juste, ╵et il aime les actes ╵accomplis selon la justice.
Les hommes droits verront sa face.

Psalm 11
For the director of music. Of David.
1 In the Lord I take refuge.(A)
How then can you say to me:
“Flee(B) like a bird to your mountain.(C)
2 For look, the wicked bend their bows;(D)
they set their arrows(E) against the strings
to shoot from the shadows(F)
at the upright in heart.(G)
3 When the foundations(H) are being destroyed,
what can the righteous do?”
4 The Lord is in his holy temple;(I)
the Lord is on his heavenly throne.(J)
He observes everyone on earth;(K)
his eyes examine(L) them.
5 The Lord examines the righteous,(M)
but the wicked, those who love violence,
he hates with a passion.(N)
6 On the wicked he will rain
fiery coals and burning sulfur;(O)
a scorching wind(P) will be their lot.

Faith in the Lord’s Righteousness
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
11 In (A)the Lord I put my trust;
How can you say to my soul,
“Flee as a bird to your mountain”?
2 For look! (B)The wicked bend their bow,
They make ready their arrow on the string,
That they may shoot [a]secretly at the upright in heart.
3 (C)If the foundations are destroyed,
What can the righteous do?
4 The Lord is in His holy temple,
The Lord’s (D)throne is in heaven;
(E)His eyes behold,
His eyelids test the sons of men.
5 The Lord (F)tests the righteous,
But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.
6 Upon the wicked He will rain coals;
Fire and brimstone and a burning wind
(G)Shall be [b]the portion of their cup.
