Psalm 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.
