Psalms 11

Reading Psalms chapter 11 in the Young's Literal Translation, public-domain text from 1898.

Verses 1–7

1 To the Overseer. --By David. In Jehovah I trusted, how say ye to my soul, `They moved to Thy mountain for the bird?

2 For lo, the wicked tread a bow, They have prepared their arrow on the string, To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

3 When the foundations are destroyed, The righteous--what hath he done?

4 `Jehovah is in his holy temple: Jehovah--in the heavens is His throne. His eyes see--His eyelids try the sons of men.

5 Jehovah the righteous doth try. And the wicked and the lover of violence, Hath His soul hated,

6 He poureth on the wicked snares, fire, and brimstone, And a horrible wind is the portion of their cup.

7 For righteous is Jehovah, Righteousness He hath loved, The upright doth His countenance see!'
