Psalms 11
In the Lord I Take Refuge
1In the LORD I take refuge;
how can you say to my soul,
“Flee like a bird to your mountain, 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 see, his eyelids test the children of man. 5 The LORD tests the righteous,
but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence. 6 Let him rain coals on the wicked;
fire and sulfur and 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.
