Salmi 11
Conferenza Episcopale Italiana
Fiducia del giusto
11 Al maestro del coro. Di Davide.
Nel Signore mi sono rifugiato, come potete dirmi:
«Fuggi come un passero verso il monte»?
2 Ecco, gli empi tendono l'arco,
aggiustano la freccia sulla corda
per colpire nel buio i retti di cuore.
3 Quando sono scosse le fondamenta,
il giusto che cosa può fare?
4 Ma il Signore nel tempio santo,
il Signore ha il trono nei cieli.
I suoi occhi sono aperti sul mondo,
le sue pupille scrutano ogni uomo.
5 Il Signore scruta giusti ed empi,
egli odia chi ama la violenza.
6 Farà piovere sugli empi
brace, fuoco e zolfo,
vento bruciante toccherà loro in sorte;
7 Giusto è il Signore, ama le cose giuste;
gli uomini retti vedranno il suo volto.
Psalm 11

Yahweh Is in His Holy Temple
For the choir director. Of David.
11 In Yahweh I (A)take refuge;
How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your (B)mountain;
2 For, behold, the wicked (C)bend the bow,
They [a](D)make ready their arrow upon the string
To (E)shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
3 If the (F)foundations are destroyed,
What can the righteous do?”
4 Yahweh is in His (G)holy temple; [b]Yahweh’s (H)throne is in heaven;
His (I)eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men.
5 Yahweh (J)tests the righteous,
But (K)the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.
6 May He (L)rain [c]snares upon the wicked;
(M)Fire and brimstone and (N)burning wind will be the portion of (O)their cup.
7 For Yahweh is (P)righteous, (Q)He loves [d]righteousness;
The upright will (R)behold His face.

Confidence in the Lord[a]
11 I trust in the Lord for safety.
How foolish of you to say to me,
“Fly away like a bird to the mountains,[b]
2 because the wicked have drawn their bows and aimed their arrows
to shoot from the shadows at good people.
3 There is nothing a good person can do
when everything falls apart.”
4 The Lord is in his holy temple;
he has his throne in heaven.
He watches people everywhere
and knows what they are doing.
5 He examines the good and the wicked alike;
the lawless he hates with all his heart.
6 He sends down flaming coals[c] and burning sulfur on the wicked;
he punishes them with scorching winds.
7 The Lord is righteous and loves good deeds;
those who do them will live in his presence.
