Psalms 11
Chapter 11 of 150
1 Confidence in the Presence of God. For the leader. Of David. In the Lord I take refuge; how can you say to me, “Flee like a bird to the mountains!
2 See how the wicked string their bows, fit their arrows to the string to shoot from the shadows at the upright of heart.
3 If foundations are destroyed, what can the just one do?”
4 The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord’s throne is in heaven. God’s eyes keep careful watch; they test the children of Adam.
5 The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked, hates those who love violence,
6 And rains upon the wicked fiery coals and brimstone, a scorching wind their allotted cup.
7 The Lord is just and loves just deeds; the upright will see his face.
