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.

Psalms 11
11
For the Music Director. A Psalm of David.
1In the Lord I seek refuge; # Ps 56:11
how do you say to my soul,
“Flee as a bird to your mountain, # 1Sa 23:14
2for behold, the wicked bend their bow;
they have fitted their arrow to the string, # Ps 21:12
that they may treacherously shoot
the upright in heart. # Ps 7:10
3If the foundations are broken, # Ps 82:5
what can the righteous do?”
4The Lord is in His holy temple, # Ps 18:6
His throne is in heaven; # Ps 103:19
His eyes behold,
His eyes examine mankind.
5The Lord tests the righteous, # Ge 22:1; Jas 1:12
but the wicked and he who loves violence
His soul hates.
6On the wicked He will rain
coals of fire and brimstone; a burning wind # Ge 19:24; Eze 38:22
will be the portion of their cup.
7For the Lord is righteous;
He loves righteousness; # Ps 17:15; 45:7
His countenance beholds the upright.
