Psalm 11

English Standard Version

from Crossway

The Lord Is in His Holy Temple

To the choirmaster. Of David.

1 In the LORD I take refuge; how can you say to my soul, Flee like a bird to your mountain, (1Sa 23:14; 1Sa 23:19; 1Sa 24:2; 1Sa 26:19; 1Sa 26:20) 

2 for behold, the wicked bend the bow; they have fitted their arrow to the string to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart; (Ps 7:10; Ps 7:12; Ps 21:12; Ps 58:7; Ps 64:4; Jer 9:3) 

3 if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do? (Ps 82:5; Eze 30:4) 

4 The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD’s throne is in heaven; his eyes see, his eyelids test the children of man. (Job 23:10; Ps 2:4; Ps 18:6; Isa 66:1; Mic 1:2; Hab 2:20; Mt 5:34; Mt 23:22; Ac 7:49) 

5 The LORD tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence. (Ge 22:1; Ps 5:5; Jas 1:12) 

6 Let him rain coals on the wicked; fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup. (Ge 19:24; Job 18:15; Job 21:20; Ps 75:8; Eze 38:22) 

7 For the LORD is righteous; he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face. (Ps 17:15; Ps 33:5; Ps 140:13; 1Jo 3:2; Re 22:4)

Psalm 11

Louis Segond 1910

1 Au chef des chantres. De David. C'est en l'Éternel que je cherche un refuge. Comment pouvez-vous me dire: Fuis dans vos montagnes, comme un oiseau? 

2 Car voici, les méchants bandent l'arc, Ils ajustent leur flèche sur la corde, Pour tirer dans l'ombre sur ceux dont le coeur est droit. 

3 Quand les fondements sont renversés, Le juste, que ferait-il? - 

4 L'Éternel est dans son saint temple, L'Éternel a son trône dans les cieux; Ses yeux regardent, Ses paupières sondent les fils de l'homme. 

5 L'Éternel sonde le juste; Il hait le méchant et celui qui se plaît à la violence. 

6 Il fait pleuvoir sur les méchants Des charbons, du feu et du soufre; Un vent brûlant, c'est le calice qu'ils ont en partage. 

7 Car l'Éternel est juste, il aime la justice; Les hommes droits contemplent sa face.
