| Chapter 11 |
1 | To the Overseer. -- By David. In Jehovah I trusted, how say ye to my soul, 'They moved [to] Thy mountain for the bird? |
2 | 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 | When the foundations are destroyed, The righteous -- what hath he done? |
4 | 'Jehovah [is] in his holy temple: Jehovah -- in the heavens [is] His throne. His eyes see -- His eyelids try the sons of men. |
5 | Jehovah the righteous doth try. And the wicked and the lover of violence, Hath His soul hated, |
6 | He poureth on the wicked snares, fire, and brimstone, And a horrible wind [is] the portion of their cup. |
7 | For righteous [is] Jehovah, Righteousness He hath loved, The upright doth His countenance see!' |
