←Prev   Psalms 11 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



11:1  (For the one directing. Of Dovid.) In Hashem do I take refuge; how say ye to my nefesh, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
11:2  For, hinei, the resha’im bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may secretly shoot at the yishrei lev (upright in heart).
11:3  If the foundations be destroyed, what can the tzaddik do?
11:4  Hashem is in His Heikhal Kodesh, Hashem’s kisse is in Shomayim; His eyes examine, His eyelids try, Bnei Adam.
11:5  Hashem trieth the tzaddik, but the resha’im and him that loveth chamas (violence) His Nefesh hateth.
11:6  Upon the resha’im He shall rain snares, eish and gofrit, and a burning wind; this shall be the portion of their kos (cup).
11:7  For Hashem is tzaddik (righteous), Hashem loveth tzedakot; His countenance doth behold the yashar (upright).
