Psalm 11Refuge in the Lord
-
I have taken refuge in the Lord. How can you say to me, "Escape to the mountains like a bird!
-
For look, the wicked string bows; they put their arrows on bowstrings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.
-
When the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?"
-
The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord--his throne is in heaven. His eyes watch; his gaze examines everyone.
-
The Lord examines the righteous, but he hates the wicked and those who love violence.
-
Let him rain burning coals and sulfur on the wicked; let a scorching wind be the portion in their cup.
-
For the Lord is righteous; he loves righteous deeds. The upright will see his face.
