‏ Psalms 11

For the Chief Musician. By David.

1 In Jehovah, 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 Jehovah is in his holy temple.
Jehovah is on his throne in heaven.
His eyes observe.
His eyes examine the children of men.
5 Jehovah examines the righteous,
but the wicked and him who loves violence ^{▼▼Or, "injustice"} 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 Jehovah is righteous.
He loves righteousness.
The upright shall see his face.
