Psalms 11

Royal Kingdom

Song of Trust in God
To the choirmaster. Of David.

1

In the Lord I take refuge; how can you say to me, “Flee like a bird to the mountains;

2

for behold, the wicked bend the bow, they have fitted their arrow to the string, to shoot in the dark 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’s throne is in heaven; his eyes behold, his eyelids test, the children of men.

5

The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked, and his soul hates him that loves violence.

6

On the wicked he will rain coals of fire and brimstone; a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

7

For the Lord is righteous, he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face.
