# Chapter 11
|
|
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. |
