Psalm 11
For the Chief Musician. By David.
[11:1] In Yahweh, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, "Flee as a bird to your mountain!" [11:2] 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. [11:3] If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do? [11:4] Yahweh is in his holy temple. Yahweh is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men. [11:5] Yahweh examines the righteous, but the wicked and him who loves violence his soul hates. [11:6] On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup. [11:7] For Yahweh is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.
