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.
1Lord, you are my protection. So how can you tell me, “Fly away to the mountains like a bird”?
2Look, the wicked are drawing their bows, loading them with arrows ready to shoot from the shadows at good people.
3When the foundations of society are destroyed, what can those who live right do?
4The Lord is in his Temple; the Lord's throne is in heaven. He keeps a close eye on everyone, watching them carefully.
5The Lord examines both those who do right and those who do evil, but he hates those who love violence.
6He will make blazing coals and sulfur rain down on the wicked; a scorching wind is what's coming on them.
7The Lord does what is right, and he loves those who live right. Those who do good will see him face to face.
