Psalms 11

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 In the LORD put I my trust: How say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?	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 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.	2 See how the wicked string their bows, fit their arrows to the string to shoot from the shadows at the upright.
3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?	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: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.	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 trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.	5 The LORD tests the good and the bad, hates those who love violence,
6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.	6 And rains upon the wicked fiery coals and brimstone, a scorching wind their allotted cup.
7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.	7 The LORD is just and loves just deeds; the upright shall see his face.
