Psalms 11 ⓘ

11:1 For the Chief Musician. By David. In the LORD, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain”?

11:2 For, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

11:3 If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?

11:4 The LORD is in his holy temple. The LORD is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.

11:5 The LORD examines the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and him who loves violence.

11:6 On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulphur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

11:7 For the LORD is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.
