Psa Psalms, psalm Book of Psalms, psalm 11
For the Chief Musician. By David.
In the LORD, I take refuge.
How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain”?Psa 55:22; 1Sa 24:1; 1Sa 26:20
For, behold, the wicked bend their bows.
They set their arrows on the strings,
that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
If the foundations are destroyed,
what can the righteous do?
The LORD is in his holy temple.
The LORD is on his throne in heaven.
His eyes observe.
His eyes examine the children of men.Isa 66:1; Hab 2:20; Mat 5:34
The LORD examines the righteous,
but his soul hates the wicked and him who loves violence.
On the wicked he will rain blazing coals;
fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.Gen 19:24; Jer 23:19
For the LORD is righteous.
He loves righteousness.
The upright shall see his face.
