Psalms 11

For the choir director: A psalm of David.

I trust in the LORD for protection.
So why do you say to me,
“Fly like a bird to the mountains for safety!

Faith in the Lord’s Righteousness

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

In the Lord I put my trust;
How can you say to my soul,
“Flee as a bird to your mountain”?

The wicked are stringing their bows
and fitting their arrows on the bowstrings.
They shoot from the shadows
at those whose hearts are right.

For look! The wicked bend their bow,
They make ready their arrow on the string,
That they may shoot [a]secretly at the upright in heart.

The foundations of law and order have collapsed.
What can the righteous do?”

If the foundations are destroyed,
What can the righteous do?

But the LORD is in his holy Temple;
the LORD still rules from heaven.
He watches everyone closely,
examining every person on earth.

The Lord is in His holy temple,
The Lord’s throne is in heaven;
His eyes behold,
His eyelids test the sons of men.

The LORD examines both the righteous and the wicked.
He hates those who love violence.

The Lord tests the righteous,
But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.

He will rain down blazing coals and burning sulfur on the wicked,
punishing them with scorching winds.

Upon the wicked He will rain coals;
Fire and brimstone and a burning wind
Shall be [b]the portion of their cup.

For the righteous LORD loves justice.
The virtuous will see his face.

For the Lord is righteous,
He loves righteousness;
[c]His countenance beholds the upright.
