Psalms - 11

1  For the music director; by David. In the LORD I have taken shelter. How can you say to me,“Flee to a mountain like a bird! 2  For look, the wicked prepare their bows, they put their arrows on the strings, to shoot in the darkness at the morally upright. 3  When the foundations are destroyed, what can the godly accomplish?”

4  The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD’s throne is in heaven. His eyes watch; his eyes examine all people. 5  The LORD approves of the godly, but he hates the wicked and those who love to do violence. 6  May he rain down burning coals and brimstone on the wicked! A whirlwind is what they deserve! 7  Certainly the LORD is just; he rewards godly deeds; the upright will experience his favor.
