Psalm 11 | New International Reader’s Version

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.

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.
