Psalms 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.
