Psalms 11 — AAB

In the LORD I Take Refuge

For the choirmaster. Of David.

11Verse 1In the LORD I take refuge.How then can you say to me:
“Flee like a bird to your mountain!^{Verse 2}For behold, the wicked bend their bows.They set their arrow on the stringto shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.^{Verse 3}If the foundations are destroyed,what can the righteous do?”^{Verse 4}The LORD is in His holy temple;the LORD is on His heavenly throne.His eyes are watching closely;they examine the sons of men.^{Verse 5}The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked;His soul hates the lover of violence.^{Verse 6}On the wicked He will rain down fiery coals and sulfur;a scorching wind will be their portion.^{Verse 7}For the LORD is righteous; He loves justice.The upright will see His face.
