Psalm 11

Refuge in the Lord

For the choir director. Davidic.

1 I have taken refuge in the Lord.(a)
How can you say to me,
"Escape to the mountain like a bird![a](b)
2 For look, the wicked string the bow;
they put the[b] arrow on the bowstring
to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.(c)
3 When the foundations are destroyed,
what can the righteous do?"(d)

4 The Lord is in His holy temple;(e)
the Lord's throne is in heaven.(f)
His eyes watch; He examines[c] everyone.
5 The Lord examines the righteous and the wicked.
He hates the lover of violence.(g)
6 He will rain burning coals[d] and sulfur on the wicked;
a scorching wind will be their portion.[e](h)
7 For the Lord is righteous; He loves righteous deeds.
The upright will see His face.(i)
