Psalms - Chapter 11 | English Standard Version

  • 1. To the choirmaster. Of David. In the LORD I take refuge; how can you say to my soul, "Flee like a bird to your mountain,
  • 2. for behold, the wicked bend the bow; they have fitted their arrow to the string to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart;
  • 3. if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?"
  • 4. The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD's throne is in heaven; his eyes see, his eyelids test, the children of man.
  • 5. The LORD tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.
  • 6. Let him rain coals on the wicked; fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
  • 7. For the LORD is righteous; he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face.
