A Statement About Trust in God

For the director of music. Of David.

11 I trust in the Lord for protection.
    So why do you say to me,
    “Fly like a bird to your mountain.
Like hunters, the wicked string their bows.
    They set their arrows on the bowstrings.
They shoot from dark places
    at those who are honest.
When all that is good falls apart,
    what can good people do?”

The Lord is in his holy temple.
    The Lord sits on his throne in heaven.
And he sees what people do.
    He keeps his eye on them.
The Lord tests those who do right.
    But he hates the wicked and those who love to hurt others.
He will send hot coals on the wicked.
    Burning sulfur and a whirlwind is what they will get.
The Lord does what is right, and he loves justice.
    So honest people will see his face.

11 In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.

If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.

For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

Psalmul 11

Către mai-marele cântăreţilor.

Făcut de David

La Domnul(A) găsesc scăpare! Cum(B) puteţi să-mi spuneţi:
„Fugi în munţii voştri, ca o pasăre?”
Căci iată că cei răi(C) încordează arcul,
îşi potrivesc săgeata(D) pe coardă,
ca să tragă pe ascuns asupra celor cu inima curată.
Şi când se surpă(E) temeliile,
ce ar putea să mai facă cel neprihănit?
Domnul(F) este în Templul Lui cel sfânt, Domnul Îşi are scaunul(G) de domnie în ceruri.
Ochii(H) Lui privesc şi pleoapele Lui cercetează pe fiii oamenilor.
Domnul încearcă(I) pe cel neprihănit,
dar urăşte pe cel rău şi pe cel ce iubeşte silnicia.
Peste cei răi plouă(J) cărbuni, foc şi pucioasă:
un vânt dogoritor(K), iată paharul de care au ei parte.
Căci Domnul este drept, iubeşte dreptatea(L),
şi cei neprihăniţi privesc Faţa(M) Lui.

Psalm 11

For the director of music. Of David.

In the Lord I take refuge.(A)
    How then can you say to me:
    “Flee(B) like a bird to your mountain.(C)
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)
When the foundations(H) are being destroyed,
    what can the righteous do?”

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.
The Lord examines the righteous,(M)
    but the wicked, those who love violence,
    he hates with a passion.(N)
On the wicked he will rain
    fiery coals and burning sulfur;(O)
    a scorching wind(P) will be their lot.

For the Lord is righteous,(Q)
    he loves justice;(R)
    the upright(S) will see his face.(T)
