New Century Version

Psalms 11

Trust in the Lord

For the director of music. Of David.

1 I trust in the Lord for protection.
    So why do you say to me,
    "Fly like a bird to your mountain.
2 Like hunters, the wicked string their bows;
    they set their arrows on the bowstrings.
They shoot from dark places
    at those who are honest.
3 When the foundations for good collapse,
    what can good people do?"

4 The Lord is in his holy temple;
    the Lord sits on his throne in heaven.
He sees what people do;
    he keeps his eye on them.
5 The Lord tests those who do right,
    but he hates the wicked and those who love to hurt others.
6 He will send hot coals and burning sulfur on the wicked.
    A whirlwind is what they will get.
7 The Lord does what is right, and he loves justice,
    so honest people will see his face.
