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
Trust in the Lord
For the director of music. Of David.
1I trust in the Lord for protection.
So why do you say to me,
“Fly like a bird to your mountain.
2Like hunters, the wicked string their bows;
they set their arrows on the bowstrings.
They shoot from dark places
at those who are honest.
3When the foundations for good collapse,
what can good people do?”
4The Lord is in his holy temple;
the Lord sits on his throne in heaven.
He sees what people do;
he keeps his eye on them.
5The Lord tests those who do right,
but he hates the wicked and those who love to hurt others.
6He will send hot coals and burning sulfur on the wicked.
A whirlwind is what they will get.
7The Lord does what is right, and he loves justice,
so honest people will see his face.
