Psalmi 11
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
11 In finem, pro octava. Psalmus David.
2 Salvum me fac, Domine, quoniam defecit sanctus, quoniam diminutae sunt veritates a filiis hominum.
3 Vana locuti sunt unusquisque ad proximum suum; labia dolosa, in corde et corde locuti sunt.
4 Disperdat Dominus universa labia dolosa, et linguam magniloquam.
5 Qui dixerunt: Linguam nostram magnificabimus; labia nostra a nobis sunt. Quis noster dominus est?
6 Propter miseriam inopum, et gemitum pauperum, nunc exsurgam, dicit Dominus. Ponam in salutari; fiducialiter agam in eo.
7 Eloquia Domini, eloquia casta; argentum igne examinatum, probatum terrae, purgatum septuplum.
8 Tu, Domine, servabis nos, et custodies nos a generatione hac in aeternum.
9 In circuitu impii ambulant: secundum altitudinem tuam multiplicasti filios hominum.
Psalm 11
Revised Standard Version
Song of Trust in God
To the choirmaster. Of David.
11 In the Lord I take refuge;
how can you say to me,
“Flee like a bird to the mountains;[a]
2 for lo, the wicked bend the bow,
they have fitted their arrow to the string,
to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart;
3 if the foundations are 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 test, the children of men.
5 The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked,
and his soul hates him that loves violence.
6 On the wicked he will rain coals of fire and brimstone;
a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the Lord is righteous, he loves righteous deeds;
the upright shall behold his face.
