Psalms 11

   |   

To the director: A song of David.

1 I trust in the Lord, so why did you tell me to run and hide?
    Why did you say, "Fly like a bird to your mountain?"

2 Like hunters, the wicked hide in the dark.
    They get their bows ready and aim their arrows.
    They shoot at good, honest people.
3 What would good people do
    if the wicked destroyed all that is good?[a]

4 The Lord is in his holy temple.
    The Lord sits on his throne in heaven.
He sees everything that happens.
    He watches people closely.
5 The Lord examines those who are good and those who are wicked;
    he hates those who enjoy hurting others.
6 He will make hot coals and burning sulfur fall like rain on the wicked.
    They will get nothing but a hot, burning wind.
7 The Lord always does what is right, and he loves seeing people do right.
    Those who live good lives will be with him.[b]
