Psalms 11

The Lord a Refuge and Defense.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

1 In the Lord I ^atake refuge;
How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your ^bmountain;
2 For, behold, the wicked ^cbend the bow,
They ^{▼▼ Or fixed
,} ^emake ready their arrow upon the string
To ^fshoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
3 If the ^gfoundations are destroyed,
What can the righteous do?”

4 The Lord is in His ^hholy temple; the ^{▼▼ Lit Lord , His throne}Lord’s ^jthrone is in heaven;
His ^keyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men.
5 The Lord ^ltests the righteous and ^mthe wicked,
And the one who loves violence His soul hates.
6 Upon the wicked He will ⁿrain ^{▼▼ Or coals of fire}snares;
^pFire and brimstone and ^qburning wind will be the portion of ^rtheir cup.
7 For the Lord is ^srighteous, ^tHe loves ^{▼▼ Or righteous deeds}righteousness;
The upright will ^vbehold His face.
