Psalm 11 - Revised Standard Version Revised Standard Version
Psalm 11

¹ In the Lord I take refuge; how can you say to me, “Flee like a bird to the mountains;

² for lo, the wicked bend the bow, they have fitted their arrow to the string, to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart;

³ if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do”?

⁴ The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven; his eyes behold, his eyelids test, the children of men.

⁵ The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked, and his soul hates him that loves violence.

⁶ On the wicked he will rain coals of fire and brimstone; a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

⁷ For the Lord is righteous, he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face.
