Psalms 11

   |   

The Lord Is in His Holy Temple

To the choirmaster. Of David.

1 In the Lord I take refuge;
how can you say to my soul,
    (a)"Flee like a bird to your mountain,
2 for behold, the wicked (b)bend the bow;
    (c)they have fitted their arrow to the string
    to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart;
3 if (d)the foundations are destroyed,
    what can the righteous do?"[a]

4 (e)The Lord is in his holy temple;
    the Lord's (f)throne is in heaven;
    his eyes see, his eyelids (g)test the children of man.
5 The Lord (h)tests the righteous,
    but (i)his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.
6 Let him rain coals on the wicked;
    (j)fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be (k)the portion of their cup.
7 For the Lord is righteous;
he (l)loves righteous deeds;
    (m)the upright shall behold his face.
