# Psalm 11 (New King James Version)
Faith in the Lord's Righteousness

##### Chapter 11
###### 1 In the Lord I put my trust;  
How can you say to my soul,  
"Flee _as_ a bird to your mountain"?  

###### 2 For look! The wicked bend _their_ bow,  
They make ready their arrow on the string,  
That they may shoot secretly 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 sons of men.  

###### 5 The Lord tests the righteous,  
But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.  

###### 6 Upon the wicked He will rain coals;  
Fire and brimstone and a burning wind  
_Shall be_ the portion of their cup.

###### 7 For the Lord _is_ righteous,  
He loves righteousness;  
His countenance beholds the upright.
