Psalms 11

NEW JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 [For the choirmaster Of David] In Yahweh I have found refuge. How can you say to me, 'Bird, flee toyour mountain?	1 In the LORD put I my trust: How say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2 'For look, the wicked are drawing their bows, fitting their arrows to the string to shoot honest men fromthe shadows.	2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
3 If the foundations fal to ruin, what can the upright do?'	3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4 Yahweh in his holy temple! Yahweh, his throne is in heaven; his eyes watch over the world, his gazescrutinises the children of Adam.	4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5 Yahweh examines the upright and the wicked, the lover of violence he detests.	5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
6 He will rain down red-hot coals, fire and sulphur on the wicked, a scorching wind wil be their lot.	6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For Yahweh is upright and loves uprightness, the honest will ever see his face.	7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
