Psalms 11

¹To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. In the LORD I take refuge [and put my trust]; How can you say to me, "Flee like a bird to your mountain;

²For look, the wicked are bending the bow; They take aim with their arrow on the string To shoot [by stealth] in darkness at the upright in heart.

³"If the foundations [of a godly society] are destroyed, What can the righteous do?"

⁴The LORD is in His holy temple; the Lord's throne is in heaven. His eyes see, His eyelids test the children of men.

⁵The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked, And His soul hates the [malevolent] one who loves violence.

⁶Upon the wicked (godless) He will rain coals of fire; Fire and[1] brimstone and a dreadful scorching wind will be the portion of their cup [of doom].

⁷For the LORD is [absolutely] righteous, He loves righteousness (virtue, morality, justice); The upright shall see His face.
