Psalms 11
11
PSALM 11.
1Unto the end, for the octave, a psalm for David.
2Save me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: truths are decayed from among the children of men.
3They have spoken vain things every one to his neighbour: with deceitful lips and with a double heart have they spoken.
4May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things.
5Who have said: We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own. Who is Lord over us?
6By reason of the misery of the needy and the groans of the poor, now will I arise, saith the Lord. I win set him in safety; I will deal confidently in his regard.
7The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried by the fire, purged from the earth refined seven times.
8Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us: and keep us from this generation for ever.
9The wicked walk round about: according to thy highness, thou hast multiplied the children of men.

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.
