Psalm 11

For the Chief Musician. By David.

 ^11:1In Yahweh do I take refuge.

 How can you say to my soul,
      "Flee as a bird to your mountain!"

 ^11:2For, behold, the wicked bend their bows.
      They set their arrows on the strings,

 That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
      ^11:3If the foundations are destroyed,
      What can the righteous do?

 ^11:4Yahweh is in his holy temple.
      Yahweh is on his throne in heaven.

 His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.

 ^11:5Yahweh examines the righteous,
      But the wicked and him who loves violence his soul hates.

 ^11:6On the wicked he will rain blazing coals;
      Fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

 ^11:7For Yahweh is righteous. He loves righteousness.
      The upright shall see his face.
