Psalm 11 - New International Version (Anglicised) New International Version (Anglicised)
Psalm 11

¹ In the Lord I take refuge. How then can you say to me: ‘Flee like a bird to your mountain.

² For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.

³ When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?’

⁴ The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord is on his heavenly throne. He observes everyone on earth; his eyes examine them.

⁵ The Lord examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence, he hates with a passion.

⁶ On the wicked he will rain fiery coals and burning sulphur; a scorching wind will be their lot.

⁷ For the Lord is righteous, he loves justice; the upright will see his face.
