Psalms 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,

1 In the LORD I take refuge. How then can you say to me: “Flee like a bird to your mountain.

2 because the wicked have drawn their bows and aimed their arrows to shoot from the shadows at good people.

2 For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.

3 There is nothing a good person can do when everything falls apart."

3 When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

4 The Lord is in his holy temple; he has his throne in heaven. He watches people everywhere and knows what they are doing.

4 The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD is on his heavenly throne. He observes everyone on earth; his eyes examine them.

5 He examines the good and the wicked alike; the lawless he hates with all his heart.

5 The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence, he hates with a passion.

6 He sends down flaming coals and burning sulfur on the wicked; he punishes them with scorching winds.

6 On the wicked he will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur; a scorching wind will be their lot.

7 The Lord is righteous and loves good deeds; those who do them will live in his presence.

7 For the LORD is righteous, he loves justice; the upright will see his face.
