Psalms 11

1

In Yahweh do I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, "Flee as a bird to your mountain!"

2

For, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings, That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

3

If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?

4

Yahweh is in his holy temple. Yahweh is on his throne in Heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.

5

Yahweh examines the righteous, But the wicked and him who loves violence his soul hates.

6

On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; Fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

7

For Yahweh is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.

For the Chief Musician; upon an eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm of David.
