Psalms 11

The Lord, a Refuge and Defense.

For the music 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 have ^{▼▼Or fixed} ^eset their arrow on 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 see, His eyelids test the sons of mankind.
5 The Lord ^ltests the righteous and ^mthe wicked,
And His soul hates one who loves violence.
6 He will ⁿrain ^{▼▼As in a Gr version; MT snares; Fire and}coals of fire upon the wicked,
^pAnd 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 ^vsee His face.
