Psalm  Chapter 11    Back    Next

Psalm 11 For the Chief Musician. By David
.

{11:1} In Yahweh, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, "Flee as a bird
to your mountain!"

{11:2} For, behold, the wicked bend their bows
. They set their arrows
on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness
at the upright in heart
.

{11:3} If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?

{11:4} Yahweh is in his holy temple. Yahweh is on his throne in heaven
. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.

{11:5} Yahweh examines the righteous, but the wicked and him who loves violence his soul hates.

{11:6} On the wicked he will rain blazing coals
; fire
, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup
.

{11:7} For Yahweh is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.
