Psalms 11
Reading Psalms chapter 11 in the World English Bible, public-domain text from 2000.
Verses 1–7
1 For the Chief Musician. By David. In the LORD, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain”?
2 For, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
3 If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4 The LORD is in his holy temple. The LORD is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.
5 The LORD examines the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and him who loves violence.
6 On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulphur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the LORD is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.
