Psalms 11

¹ For the leader. Of David. In the LORD I take refuge; how can you say to me, "Flee like a bird to the mountains!

² See how the wicked string their bows, fit their arrows to the string to shoot from the shadows at the upright.

³ When foundations are being destroyed, what can the upright do?"

⁴ The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD'S throne is in heaven. God's eyes keep careful watch; they test all peoples.

⁵ The LORD tests the good and the bad, hates those who love violence,

⁶ And rains upon the wicked fiery coals and brimstone, a scorching wind their allotted cup.

⁷ The LORD is just and loves just deeds; the upright shall see his face.
