Psalm 11

¹ In יהוה I have taken refuge; Why do you say to me, “Flee to your mountain like a bird”?

² For look! The wrong bend a bow, They set their arrow on the string, To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

³ When the foundations are destroyed, What shall the righteous do?

⁴ יהוה is in His set-apart Hĕḵal, The throne of יהוה is in the heavens. His eyes see, His eyelids examine the sons of men.

⁵ יהוה tries the righteous, But His being shall hate the wrong And the one who loves violence.

⁶ Upon the wrong He rains snares, Fire and sulphur and a scorching wind Are the portion of their cup.

⁷ For יהוה is righteous, He has loved righteousness; The upright shall see His face.
