Psalms 11
Psalm 111
For the music director; by David.
11:1 In the Lord I have taken shelter.2
How can you say to me,3
“Flee to a mountain like a bird!4
11:2 For look, the wicked5 prepare6 their bows,7
they put their arrows on the strings,
to shoot in the darkness8 at the morally upright.9
11:3 When the foundations10 are destroyed,
what can the godly11 accomplish?”12
11:4 The Lord is in his holy temple;13
the Lord’s throne is in heaven.14
his eyes17 examine18 all people.19
11:5 The Lord approves of20 the godly,21
but he22 hates23 the wicked and those who love to do violence.24
11:6 May the Lord rain down25 burning coals26 and brimstone27 on the wicked!
A whirlwind is what they deserve!28
11:7 Certainly29 the Lord is just;30
he rewards godly deeds;31
the upright will experience his favor.32
