Psalm 11
For the music leader. Of David.
1
I have taken refuge in the LORD. So how can you say to me, “Flee to the hills like a bird
2
because the wicked have already bent their bows; they've already strung their arrows; they are ready to secretly shoot those whose heart is right”?
3
When the very bottom of things falls out, what can a righteous person possibly accomplish?
4
But the LORD is in his holy temple. The LORD! His throne is in heaven. His eyes see— his vision examines all of humanity.
5
The LORD examines both the righteous and the wicked; his very being hates anyone who loves violence.
6
God will rain fiery coals and sulfur on the wicked; their cups will be filled with nothing but a scorching hot wind
7
because the LORD is righteous! He loves righteous deeds. Those whose heart is right will see God's face.
