Psalms 11

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 In the LORD put I my trust: How say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?	1 [For the choirmaster Of David] In Yahweh I have found refuge. How can you say to me, 'Bird, flee toyour mountain?
2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.	2 'For look, the wicked are drawing their bows, fitting their arrows to the string to shoot honest men fromthe shadows.
3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?	3 If the foundations fal to ruin, what can the upright do?'
4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.	4 Yahweh in his holy temple! Yahweh, his throne is in heaven; his eyes watch over the world, his gazescrutinises the children of Adam.
5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.	5 Yahweh examines the upright and the wicked, the lover of violence he detests.
6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.	6 He will rain down red-hot coals, fire and sulphur on the wicked, a scorching wind wil be their lot.
7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.	7 For Yahweh is upright and loves uprightness, the honest will ever see his face.
