Psalm 11

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

Psalm 11

Song of Trust in God

To the leader. Of David.

¹In the Lord I take refuge; how can you say to me,
    ‘Flee like a bird to the mountains;^[a]
²for look, the wicked bend the bow,
    they have fitted their arrow to the string,
    to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart.
³If the foundations are destroyed,
    what can the righteous do?’

⁴The Lord is in his holy temple;
    the Lord’s throne is in heaven.
    His eyes behold, his gaze examines humankind.
⁵The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked,
    and his soul hates the lover of violence.
⁶On the wicked he will rain coals of fire and sulphur;
    a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
⁷For the Lord is righteous;
he loves righteous deeds;
    the upright shall behold his face.
