El refugio del justo

Al músico principal. Salmo de David.

11 En Jehová he confiado;

¿Cómo decís a mi alma,

Que escape al monte cual ave?

Porque he aquí, los malos tienden el arco,

Disponen sus saetas sobre la cuerda,

Para asaetear en oculto a los rectos de corazón.

Si fueren destruidos los fundamentos,

¿Qué ha de hacer el justo?

Jehová está en su santo templo;

Jehová tiene en el cielo su trono;

Sus ojos ven, sus párpados examinan a los hijos de los hombres.

Jehová prueba al justo;

Pero al malo y al que ama la violencia, su alma los aborrece.

Sobre los malos hará llover calamidades;

Fuego, azufre y viento abrasador será la porción del cáliz de ellos.

Porque Jehová es justo, y ama la justicia;

El hombre recto mirará su rostro.

Jehovah a refuge and defence.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

11 In Jehovah do I take refuge:
How say ye to my soul,
Flee [a]as a bird to your mountain;
For, lo, the wicked bend the bow,
They make ready their arrow upon the string,
That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart;
[b]If the foundations be destroyed,
What can the righteous do?
Jehovah is in his holy temple;
Jehovah, his throne is in heaven;
His eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
Jehovah trieth the righteous;
But the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
Upon the wicked he will rain snares;
Fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.
For Jehovah is righteous; he loveth [c]righteousness:
[d]The upright shall behold his face.

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)
