Tehillim (Psalms) 11
11
1In יהוה I have taken refuge; Why do you say to me, “Flee to your mountain like a bird”?
2For look! The wrong bend a bow, They set their arrow on the string, To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
3When the foundations are destroyed, What shall the righteous do?
4יהוה is in His set-apart Hĕḵal, The throne of יהוה is in the heavens. His eyes see, His eyelids examine the sons of men.
5יהוה tries the righteous, But His being shall hate the wrong And the one who loves violence.
6Upon the wrong He rains snares, Fire and sulphur and a scorching wind Are the portion of their cup.
7For יהוה is righteous, He has loved righteousness; The upright shall see His face.

Psalm 11
11
The Refuge of the Upright
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1In the Lord put I my trust:
how say ye to my soul,
Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2For, lo, the wicked bend their bow,
they make ready their arrow upon the string,
that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
3If the foundations be destroyed,
what can the righteous do?
4The Lord is in his holy temple,
the Lord's throne is in heaven:
his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5The Lord trieth the righteous:
but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
6Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone,
and a horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
7For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness;
his countenance doth behold the upright.
