Psalm 11 (WEBP)
[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 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.

Psalm 11 (KJVS)
[1] «To the chief Musician H5329 (8764), [A Psalm] of David H1732.» In the LORD H3068 put I my trust H2620 (8804): how say H559 (8799) ye to my soul H5315, Flee H5110 (8798) [as] a bird H6833 to your mountain H2022?
[2] For, lo, the wicked H7563 bend H1869 (8799) [their] bow H7198, they make ready H3559 (8790) their arrow H2671 upon the string H3499, that they may privily H652 (8676) H1119 shoot H3384 (8800) at the upright H3477 in heart H3820.
[3] If the foundations H8356 be destroyed H2040 (8735), what can the righteous H6662 do H6466 (8804)?
[4] The LORD H3068 [is] in his holy H6944 temple H1964, the LORD’S H3068 throne H3678 [is] in heaven H8064: his eyes H5869 behold H2372 (8799), his eyelids H6079 try H974 (8799), the children H1121 of men H120.
[5] The LORD H3068 trieth H974 (8799) the righteous H6662: but the wicked H7563 and him that loveth H157 (8802) violence H2555 his soul H5315 hateth H8130 (8804).
[6] Upon the wicked H7563 he shall rain H4305 (8686) snares H6341, fire H784 and brimstone H1614, and an horrible H2152 tempest H7307: [this shall be] the portion H4521 of their cup H3563.
[7] For the righteous H6662 LORD H3068 loveth H157 (8804) righteousness H6666; his countenance H6440 doth behold H2372 (8799) the upright H3477.
Young’s Literal Translation
Psalm 11 (YLT)
[1] In Jehovah I trusted, how say ye to my soul, ‘They moved to Thy mountain for the bird?
[2] For lo, the wicked tread a bow, They have prepared their arrow on the string, To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
[3] When the foundations are destroyed, The righteous-what hath he done?
[4] ‘Jehovah is in his holy temple: Jehovah-in the heavens is His throne. His eyes see-His eyelids try the sons of men.
[5] Jehovah the righteous doth try. And the wicked and the lover of violence, Hath His soul hated,
[6] He poureth on the wicked snares, fire, and brimstone, And a horrible wind is the portion of their cup.
[7] For righteous is Jehovah, Righteousness He hath loved, The upright doth His countenance see!’
