Psalm 11

Yahweh Is in His Holy Temple

For the choir director. Of David.

1 In Yahweh I take refuge;
How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain;
2 For, behold, the wicked bend the bow,
They ^{▼▼Or fixed}make ready their arrow upon the string
To 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; ^{▼▼Lit Yahweh, His throne}Yahweh’s throne is in heaven;
His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men.
5 Yahweh tests the righteous,
But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.
6 May He rain ^{▼▼Or coals of fire}snares upon the wicked;
Fire and brimstone and burning wind will be the portion of their cup.
7 For Yahweh is righteous, He loves ^{▼▼Or righteous deeds}righteousness;
The upright will behold His face.
