American Standard Version
Psalm 11
American Standard Version
Jehovah a refuge and defence.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
11 In Jehovah do I take refuge:
How say ye to my soul,
Flee [a]as a bird to your mountain;
2 For, lo, the wicked bend the bow,
They make ready their arrow upon the string,
That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart;
3 [b]If the foundations be destroyed,
What can the righteous do?
4 Jehovah is in his holy temple;
Jehovah, his throne is in heaven;
His eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5 Jehovah trieth the righteous;
But the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
6 Upon the wicked he will rain snares;
Fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For Jehovah is righteous; he loveth [c]righteousness:
[d]The upright shall behold his face.

Fiducia del giusto
11 Al maestro del coro. Di Davide.
Nel Signore mi sono rifugiato, come potete dirmi:
«Fuggi come un passero verso il monte»?
2 Ecco, gli empi tendono l'arco,
aggiustano la freccia sulla corda
per colpire nel buio i retti di cuore.
3 Quando sono scosse le fondamenta,
il giusto che cosa può fare?
4 Ma il Signore nel tempio santo,
il Signore ha il trono nei cieli.
I suoi occhi sono aperti sul mondo,
le sue pupille scrutano ogni uomo.
5 Il Signore scruta giusti ed empi,
egli odia chi ama la violenza.
6 Farà piovere sugli empi
brace, fuoco e zolfo,
vento bruciante toccherà loro in sorte;
7 Giusto è il Signore, ama le cose giuste;
gli uomini retti vedranno il suo volto.

Psalm 11
For the director of music. Of David.
1 In the Lord I take refuge.(A)
How then can you say to me:
“Flee(B) like a bird to your mountain.(C)
2 For look, the wicked bend their bows;(D)
they set their arrows(E) against the strings
to shoot from the shadows(F)
at the upright in heart.(G)
3 When the foundations(H) are being destroyed,
what can the righteous do?”
4 The Lord is in his holy temple;(I)
the Lord is on his heavenly throne.(J)
He observes everyone on earth;(K)
his eyes examine(L) them.
5 The Lord examines the righteous,(M)
but the wicked, those who love violence,
he hates with a passion.(N)
6 On the wicked he will rain
fiery coals and burning sulfur;(O)
a scorching wind(P) will be their lot.
