Psalms 11

World English Bible British Edition · Public domain

For the Chief Musician. By David.

1

In the LORD, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain”?

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.

3

If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?

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.

5

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

6

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

7

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