Psalm 11
1
I trust in the Lord for safety. How foolish of you to say to me, "Fly away like a bird to the mountains,
2
because the wicked have drawn their bows and aimed their arrows to shoot from the shadows at good people.
3
There is nothing a good person can do when everything falls apart."
4
The Lord is in his holy temple; he has his throne in heaven. He watches people everywhere and knows what they are doing.
5
He examines the good and the wicked alike; the lawless he hates with all his heart.
6
He sends down flaming coals and burning sulfur on the wicked; he punishes them with scorching winds.
7
The Lord is righteous and loves good deeds; those who do them will live in his presence.
