Psalmi 11

1 Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Jahvi se utječem! Zašto dakle govorite duši mojoj: “Odleti u goru kao ptica!

Unto the end. A Psalm of David. I trust in the Lord. How can you say to my soul, “Sojourn to the mountain, like a sparrow.”

2 Gle, bezbožnici već luk napeše, za tetivu strijelu zapeše da iz potaje ustrijele pravednika.

For behold, the sinners have bent their bow. They have prepared their arrows in the quiver, so as to shoot arrows in the dark at the upright of heart.

3 Kad su temelji uzljuljani, što da učini pravednik?”

For they have destroyed the things that you have completed. But what has the just one done?

4 Jahve je u svom svetom Hramu, na nebeskom sjedi prijestolju. Oči njegove motre, vjeđama proniče sinove ljudske.

The Lord is in his holy temple. The Lord’s throne is in heaven. His eyes look upon the poor. His eyelids question the sons of men.

5 Jahve proniče pravedna i nepravedna, iz dna duše mrzi silnika.

The Lord questions the just and the impious. Yet he who loves iniquity, hates his own soul.

6 Na grešnike će izlit' žeravu i sumpor, vjetar ognjeni bit će dio njine sudbine.

He will rain down snares upon sinners. Fire and brimstone and windstorms will be the portion of their cup.

7 Pravedan je Jahve i pravednost ljubi, čestiti će gledat' lice njegovo.

For the Lord is just, and he has chosen justice. His countenance has beheld equity.
