1898 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Psalms 11

1 David encourageth himself in God against his enemies. 4 The providence and justice of God.

 11:1 ¶ To the Overseer.—By David. In Jehovah I trusted, how say ye to my soul, 'They moved [to] Thy mountain for the bird?

 11:2 For lo, the wicked tread a bow, They have prepared their arrow on the string, To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

 11:3 When the foundations are destroyed, The righteous—what hath he done?

 11:4 'Jehovah [is] in his holy temple: Jehovah—in the heavens [is] His throne. His eyes see—His eyelids try the sons of men.

 11:5 Jehovah the righteous doth try. And the wicked and the lover of violence, Hath His soul hated,

 11:6 He poureth on the wicked snares, fire, and brimstone, And a horrible wind [is] the portion of their cup.

 11:7 For righteous [is] Jehovah, Righteousness He hath loved, The upright doth His countenance see!'
