Psalm 11
GOD’S WORD Translation
For the choir director; by David.
11 I have taken refuge in the Lord.
How can you say to me:
“Flee to your mountain like a bird?
2 Wicked people bend their bows.
They set their arrows against the strings
to shoot in the dark at people whose motives are decent.
3 When the foundations ⌞of life⌟ are undermined,
what can a righteous person do?”
4 The Lord is in his holy temple.
The Lord’s throne is in heaven.
His eyes see.
They examine Adam’s descendants.
5 The Lord tests righteous people,
but he hates wicked people and the ones who love violence.
6 He rains down fire and burning sulfur upon wicked people.
He makes them drink from a cup filled with scorching wind.
7 The Lord is righteous.
He loves a righteous way of life.
Decent people will see his face.
Psaltaren 11
Svenska Folkbibeln 2015
Förtröstan på den Rättfärdige
11 För körledaren. Av David.
Till Herren tar jag min tillflykt.
Hur kan ni då säga till mig:
"Fly som en fågel till bergen[a]!
2 (A) Se, de gudlösa spänner bågen,
de lägger sin pil på strängen
för att skjuta i mörkret
mot dem som har ärliga hjärtan.
3 När grundvalarna raseras,
vad kan då den rättfärdige göra?"
4 (B) Herren är i sitt heliga tempel,
Herrens tron är i himlen.
Hans ögon ser,
hans blickar prövar
människors barn.
5 (C) Herren prövar den rättfärdige,
men hans själ hatar den gudlöse
och den som älskar våld.
6 (D) Han ska låta glödande kol och svavel
regna över de gudlösa,
en glödhet vind
är bägaren de får dricka,
7 (E) för Herren är rättfärdig,
han älskar rättfärdighet.
De ärliga ska se hans ansikte.

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.
