Psalm 11

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 For the leader. By David: In ADONAI I find refuge. So how can you say to me, "Flee like a bird to the mountains!

2 See how the wicked are drawing their bows and setting their arrows on the string, to shoot from the shadows at honest men.

3 If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?"

4 ADONAI is in his holy temple. ADONAI, his throne is in heaven. His eyes see and test humankind.

5 ADONAI tests the righteous; but he hates the wicked and the lover of violence.

6 He will rain hot coals down on the wicked, fire, sulfur and scorching wind will be what they get to drink.

7 For ADONAI is righteous; he loves righteousness; the upright will see his face.

New Living Translation NLT

1 I trust in the LORD for protection. So why do you say to me, “Fly like a bird to the mountains for safety!

2 The wicked are stringing their bows and fitting their arrows on the bowstrings. They shoot from the shadows at those whose hearts are right.

3 The foundations of law and order have collapsed. What can the righteous do?”

4 But the LORD is in his holy Temple; the LORD still rules from heaven. He watches everyone closely, examining every person on earth.

5 The LORD examines both the righteous and the wicked. He hates those who love violence.

6 He will rain down blazing coals and burning sulfur on the wicked, punishing them with scorching winds.

7 For the righteous LORD loves justice. The virtuous will see his face.
