Chapter 11
Psalms
Verse 1In the LORD I take refuge;how can you say to my soul,Flee like a bird to your mountain,Verse 2for behold, the wicked bend the bow;they have fitted their arrow to the stringto shoot in the dark at the upright in heart;Verse 3if the foundations are destroyed,what can the righteous do?Verse 4The LORD is in his holy temple;the LORD’s throne is in heaven;his eyes see, his eyelids test the children of man.Verse 5The LORD tests the righteous,but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.Verse 6Let him rain coals on the wicked;fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.Verse 7For the LORD is righteous;he loves righteous deeds;the upright shall behold his face.
