Psalms 11

   |   

The Lord a Refuge and Defense.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

1 In the Lord I (a)take refuge;
How can you say to my soul, "Flee as a bird to your (b)mountain;
2 For, behold, the wicked (c)bend the bow,
They [a](d)make ready their arrow upon the string
To (e)shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
3 If the (f)foundations are destroyed,
What can the righteous do?"

4 The Lord is in His (g)holy temple; the [b]Lord's (h)throne is in heaven;
His (i)eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men.
5 The Lord (j)tests the righteous and (k)the wicked,
And the one who loves violence His soul hates.
6 Upon the wicked He will (l)rain [c]snares;
(m)Fire and brimstone and (n)burning wind will be the portion of (o)their cup.
7 For the Lord is (p)righteous, (q)He loves [d]righteousness;
The upright will (r)behold His face.
