Psalmorum 11

1 in finem psalmus David in Domino confido quomodo dicitis animae meae transmigra in montes sicut passer

To the Overseer. — By David. In Jehovah I trusted, how say ye to my soul, 'They moved [to] Thy mountain for the bird?

2 quoniam ecce peccatores intenderunt arcum paraverunt sagittas suas in faretra ut sagittent in obscuro rectos corde

For lo, the wicked tread a bow, They have prepared their arrow on the string, To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

3 quoniam quae perfecisti destruxerunt iustus autem quid fecit

When the foundations are destroyed, The righteous — what hath he done?

4 Dominus in templo sancto suo Dominus in caelo sedis eius oculi eius in pauperem respiciunt palpebrae eius interrogant filios hominum

'Jehovah [is] in his holy temple: Jehovah — in the heavens [is] His throne. His eyes see — His eyelids try the sons of men.

5 Dominus interrogat iustum et impium qui autem diligit iniquitatem odit animam suam

Jehovah the righteous doth try. And the wicked and the lover of violence, Hath His soul hated,

6 pluet super peccatores laqueos ignis et sulphur et spiritus procellarum pars calicis eorum

He poureth on the wicked snares, fire, and brimstone, And a horrible wind [is] the portion of their cup.

7 quoniam iustus Dominus et iustitias dilexit aequitatem vidit vultus eius

For righteous [is] Jehovah, Righteousness He hath loved, The upright doth His countenance see!'
