Psalm 11

1 Für den Chorleiter: Ein Psalm Davids. Bei dem HERRN habe ich Zuflucht gefunden. Wie könnt ihr da zu mir sagen: »Wenn du in Sicherheit sein willst, flieg hinauf in die Berge wie ein Vogel! (Ps 121,1) 2 Die Gottlosen spannen ihre Bogen, legen Pfeile an und zielen auf die, die aufrichtig sind. (Ps 7,13; Ps 64,4) 3 Wenn Recht und Ordnung erschüttert sind, was kann der Gerechte dann noch bewirken?« (Ps 82,5) 4 Doch der HERR ist in seinem heiligen Tempel und herrscht noch immer vom Himmel aus. Er sieht alles und prüft die Menschen auf Erden. (Ps 34,16; Ps 103,19) 5 Der HERR prüft Gerechte und Ungerechte und hasst alle, die Unrecht und Gewalt lieben. (1Mo 22,1; Ps 5,6) 6 Er lässt Feuer und Schwefel auf die Bösen regnen und straft sie mit Glutwind. (Jer 4,11; Hes 38,22) 7 Denn der HERR ist gerecht, und er liebt die Gerechtigkeit. Die Aufrichtigen werden sein Angesicht sehen. (Ps 7,10; Ps 17,15; Ps 33,5)

Psalm 11

New International Reader’s Version

von Biblica

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1 I run to the LORD for safety. So how can you say to me, ‘Fly away like a bird to your mountain. 2 Look! Evil people are bending their bows. They are placing their arrows against the strings. They are planning to shoot from the shadows at those who have honest hearts. 3 When law and order are being destroyed, what can godly people do?’ 4 The LORD is in his holy temple. The LORD is on his throne in heaven. He watches everyone on earth. His eyes study them. 5 The LORD watches over those who do what is right. But he really hates sinful people and those who love to hurt others. 6 He will pour out flaming coals and burning sulphur on those who do what is wrong. A hot and dry wind will destroy them. 7 The LORD always does what is right. So he loves it when people do what is fair. Those who are honest will enjoy his blessing.

1 To the choirmaster. Of David. In the Lord I take refuge; how can you say to my soul, “Flee like a bird to your mountain, (1Sam 23,14; 1Sam 23,19; 1Sam 24,2; 1Sam 26,19)

1Sam 23,141Sam 23,191Sam 24,21Sam 26,19

3 if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”^[1] (Ps 82,5; Hes 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. (Hi 23,10; Ps 2,4; Ps 18,6; Jes 66,1; Mi 1,2; Hab 2,20; Mt 5,34; Mt 23,22; Apg 7,49)
