Psalms 11
[1]
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] Yahweh is in his holy temple.
Yahweh is on his throne in heaven.
His eyes observe.
His eyes examine the children of men.
[5] Yahweh examines the righteous,
but his soul hates the wicked and him who loves violence.
[6] On the wicked he will rain blazing coals;
fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
[7] For Yahweh is righteous.
He loves righteousness.
The upright shall see his face.
For the Chief Musician. By David.
