Psalm 11
Luther Bibel 1545
11 (Ein Psalm Davids, vorzusingen.) Ich traue auf den HERRN. Wie sagt ihr denn zu meiner Seele: Fliehet wie ein Vogel auf eure Berge?
2 Denn siehe, die Gottlosen spannen den Bogen und legen ihre Pfeile auf die Sehnen, damit heimlich zu schießen die Frommen.
3 Denn sie reißen den Grund um; was sollte der Gerechte ausrichten?
4 Der HERR ist in seinem heiligen Tempel, des HERRN Stuhl ist im Himmel; seine Augen sehen darauf, seine Augenlider prüfen die Menschenkinder.
5 Der HERR prüft den Gerechten; seine Seele haßt den Gottlosen und die gerne freveln.
6 Er wird regnen lassen über die Gottlosen Blitze, Feuer und Schwefel und wird ihnen ein Wetter zum Lohn geben.
7 Der HERR ist gerecht und hat Gerechtigkeit lieb; die Frommen werden schauen sein Angesicht.
Psalm 11
Amplified Bible
The Lord a Refuge and Defense.
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
11 In the Lord I take refuge [and put my trust];
How can you say to me, “Flee like a bird to your mountain;
2
For look, the wicked are bending the bow;
They take aim with their arrow on the string
To shoot [by stealth] in darkness at the upright in heart.
3
“If the foundations [of a godly society] are destroyed,
What can the righteous do?”
4
The Lord is in His holy temple; the Lord’s throne is in heaven.
His eyes see, His eyelids test the children of men.(A)
5
The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked,
And His soul hates the [malevolent] one who loves violence.(B)
6
Upon the wicked (godless) He will rain coals of fire;
Fire and [a]brimstone and a dreadful scorching wind will be the portion of their cup [of doom].
7
For the Lord is [absolutely] righteous, He loves righteousness (virtue, morality, justice);
The upright shall see His face.

King James Version
11 In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2 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.
3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4 The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5 The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
