Psalm 11
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1I run to the Lord for safety.
So how can you say to me,
“Fly away like a bird to your mountain.
2Look! 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.
3When law and order are being destroyed,
what can godly people do?”
4The Lord is in his holy temple.
The Lord is on his throne in heaven.
He watches everyone on earth.
His eyes study them.
5The Lord watches over those who do what is right.
But he really hates sinful people and those who love to hurt others.
6He will pour out flaming coals and burning sulfur
on those who do what is wrong.
A hot and dry wind will destroy them.
7The Lord always does what is right.
So he loves it when people do what is fair.
Those who are honest will enjoy his blessing.
Salimo 11
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide.
1Mwa Yehova ine ndimathawiramo.
Nanga mungathe bwanji kunena kwa ine kuti,
“Thawira ku phiri lako ngati mbalame.
2Pakuti taona oyipa akunga mauta awo;
ayika bwino mivi yawo pa zingwe za uta,
pobisala pawo kuti alase
olungama mtima.
3Tsono ngati maziko awonongeka,
olungama angachite chiyani?”
4Yehova ali mʼNyumba yake yoyera;
Yehova ali pa mpando wake waufumu kumwamba.
Iye amayangʼanitsitsa ana a anthu;
maso ake amawayesa.
5Yehova amayesa olungama,
koma moyo wake umadana ndi oyipa,
amene amakonda zachiwawa.
6Iye adzakhuthulira pa oyipa
makala amoto ndi sulufule woyaka;
mphepo yotentha idzakhala yowayenera.
7Pakuti Yehova ndi wolungama,
Iye amakonda chilungamo;
ndipo anthu olungama adzaona nkhope yake.
