{א} לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִד בַּיהוָה חָסִיתִי אֵיךְ תֹּאמְרוּ לְנַפְשִׁי (נודו) נוּדִי הַרְכֶם צִפּוֹר:
{ב} כִּי הִנֵּה הָרְשָׁעִים יִדְרְכוּן קֶשֶׁת כּוֹנְנוּ חִצָּם עַל יֶתֶר לִירוֹת בְּמוֹ אֹפֶל לְיִשְׁרֵי לֵב:
{ג} כִּי הַשָּׁתוֹת יֵהָרֵסוּן צַדִּיק מַה פָּעָל:
{ד} יְהוָה בְּהֵיכַל קָדְשׁוֹ יְהוָה בַּשָּׁמַיִם כִּסְאוֹ עֵינָיו יֶחֱזוּ עַפְעַפָּיו יִבְחֲנוּ בְּנֵי אָדָם:
{ה} יְהוָה צַדִּיק יִבְחָן וְרָשָׁע וְאֹהֵב חָמָס שָׂנְאָה נַפְשׁוֹ:
{ו} יַמְטֵר עַל רְשָׁעִים פַּחִים אֵשׁ וְגָפְרִית וְרוּחַ זִלְעָפוֹת מְנָת כּוֹסָם:
{ז} כִּי צַדִּיק יְהוָה צְדָקוֹת אָהֵב יָשָׁר יֶחֱזוּ פָנֵימוֹ:

Tehillim 11 : Transliteration

Lamnatsêach ledavid, badonai chassiti, ech tomeru lenafshi núdi harchem tsipor
Ki hine hareshaim yidrechun késhet, conenu chitsam al iéter, lirot bemo ofel leyishrê lev
Ki hashatot ieharessun, tsadic ma paal
Adonai behechal codsho Adonai bashamáyim kis’o, enav iechezu, af’apav yivchanu benê adam
Adonai tsadic yivchan, verashá veohev chamas sanea nafsho
Iamter al reshaim pachim esh vegofrit, veruach zil’afót menat cossam
Ki tsadic Adonai, tsedacot ahev, iashar iechezu fanemo

Tehillim 11 - Tehillim translated into english

1. To the chief Musician of David. In the Lord I put my trust; how can you say to my soul, Flee like a bird to your mountain?
2. For, behold, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow on the string, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
3. If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4. The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord’s throne is in heaven; his eyes behold, his eyelids test the children of men.
5. The Lord tests the righteous; but his soul hates the wicked and he who loves violence.
6. Upon the wicked he shall rain coals, fire and brimstone, and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
7. For the Lord is righteous; he loves righteousness; the upright shall behold his face.
