Vertrauen auf Gottes Gerechtigkeit

1 Von David, vorzusingen. Ich traue auf den HERRN. Wie sagt ihr denn zu mir: »Flieh wie ein Vogel auf die Berge! 2 Denn siehe, die Frevler spannen den Bogen / und legen ihre Pfeile auf die Sehne, damit heimlich zu schießen auf die Frommen. 3 Ja, sie reißen die Grundfesten um; was kann da der Gerechte ausrichten?« 4 Der HERR ist in seinem heiligen Tempel, des HERRN Thron ist im Himmel. Seine Augen sehen herab, seine Blicke prüfen die Menschenkinder. (Ps 33:13; Isa 66:1; Hab 2:20) 5 Der HERR prüft den Gerechten, aber den Frevler hasst er und den, der Gewalttat liebt. 6 Er wird regnen lassen über die Frevler Feuer und Schwefel und Glutwind ihnen zum Lohne geben. (Ge 19:24) 7 Denn der HERR ist gerecht und hat Gerechtigkeit lieb. Die Frommen werden schauen sein Angesicht. (Mt 5:8)

Psalm 11

Nuova Riveduta 2006

from Società Biblica di Ginevra

Fiducia nell’intervento di Dio

1 Al direttore del coro. Di Davide. Io confido nel Signore. Voi, come potete dire all’anima mia: «Fuggi al tuo monte come un uccello»? 2 Poiché, ecco, gli empi tendono l’arco, aggiustano le loro frecce sulla corda per tirarle nell’oscurità contro i retti di cuore. 3 Quando le fondamenta sono rovinate, che cosa può fare il giusto? 4 Il Signore è nel suo tempio santo; il Signore ha il suo trono nei cieli; i suoi occhi vedono, le sue pupille scrutano i figli degli uomini. 5 Il Signore scruta il giusto, ma detesta l’empio e colui che ama la violenza. 6 Egli farà piovere sull’empio carboni accesi; zolfo e vento infuocato sarà il contenuto del loro calice. 7 Poiché il Signore è giusto; egli ama la giustizia; gli uomini retti contempleranno il suo volto.
