Psalms 11
11
Psalm 11
For the choir director; by David.
1I have taken refuge in the Lord.
How can you say to me:
“Flee to your mountain like a bird?
2Wicked people bend their bows.
They set their arrows against the strings
to shoot in the dark at people whose motives are decent.
3When the foundations ⌞of life⌟ are undermined,
what can a righteous person do?”
4The Lord is in his holy temple.
The Lord’s throne is in heaven.
His eyes see.
They examine Adam’s descendants.
5The Lord tests righteous people,
but he hates wicked people and the ones who love violence.
6He rains down fire and burning sulfur upon wicked people.
He makes them drink from a cup filled with scorching wind.
7The Lord is righteous.
He loves a righteous way of life.
Decent people will see his face.

Psalms 11
11
For 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 the bow,
They make ready their arrow upon the string,
That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
3If the foundations be destroyed,
What can the righteous do?
4The LORD is in his holy temple,
The LORD, his 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 burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.
7For the LORD is righteous; he loveth righteousness:
The upright shall behold his face.
