Psalm 11

Common English Bible CEB

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.

The Message Bible MSG

1 I've already run for dear life straight to the arms of God. So why would I run away now when you say,

2 the evil bows are bent, the wicked arrows Aimed to shoot under cover of darkness at every heart open to God.

3 The bottom's dropped out of the country; good people don't have a chance"?

4 But God hasn't moved to the mountains; his holy address hasn't changed. He's in charge, as always, his eyes taking everything in, his eyelids Unblinking, examining Adam's unruly brood inside and out, not missing a thing.

5 He tests the good and the bad alike; if anyone cheats, God's outraged.

6 Fail the test and you're out, out in a hail of firestones, Drinking from a canteen filled with hot desert wind.

7 God's business is putting things right; he loves getting the lines straight, Setting us straight. Once we're standing tall, we can look him straight in the eye.
