PSALM 11[L] Confidence in the Presence of God 11
1For the leader. Of David.
I
In the LORD I take refuge;
how can you say to me,
“Flee like a bird to the mountains!
2See how the wicked string their bows,
fit their arrows to the string
to shoot from the shadows at the upright of heart.
3[M]If foundations are destroyed,
what can the just one do?”
II
4The LORD is in his holy temple;
the LORD’s throne is in heaven.
God’s eyes keep careful watch;
they test the children of Adam.
5The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked,
hates those who love violence,
6And rains upon the wicked
fiery coals and brimstone,
a scorching wind their allotted cup.[N]
7The LORD is just and loves just deeds;
the upright will see his face.
