PSALM 11

Song of Trust in God

Psalm 11:1 In the LORD I take refuge; how can you say to me, “Flee like a bird to the mountains;

Psalm 11:2 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;

Psalm 11:3 if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

Psalm 11:4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’s throne is in heaven; his eyes behold, his eyelids test, the children of men.

Psalm 11:5 The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked, and his soul hates him that loves violence.

Psalm 11:6 On the wicked he will rain coals of fire and brimstone; a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

Psalm 11:7 For the LORD is righteous, he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face.
