Psalm 11

Revised Standard Version RSV

1 To the choirmaster. Of David. In the LORD I take refuge; how can you say to me, "Flee like a bird to the mountains;

2 for lo, the wicked bend the bow, they have fitted their arrow to the string, to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart;

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

4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven; his eyes behold, his eyelids test, the children of men.

5 The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked, and his soul hates him that loves violence.

6 On the wicked he will rain coals of fire and brimstone; a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

7 For the LORD is righteous, he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face.

Good News Translation GNT

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.
