Psalm 11 - Easy To Read Version

¹ I trust the Lord.\par So why did you tell me \{to run and hide\}?\par \{You told me,\}\par “Fly like a bird to your mountain!”\par

² \{Bad people are like a hunter\}\par They hide in the dark.\par They pull back on the bowstring.\par They aim their arrows\par and shoot straight into the hearts\par of good, honest people.\par

³ What would happen if they destroyed\par all that is good? {\cf2\super [59]} \par What would good people do then?\par

⁴ The Lord is in his holy palace. {\cf2\super [60]} \par The Lord sits on his throne {\cf2\super [61]} in heaven.\par And he sees everything that happens.\par The Lord watches people closely\par to see if they are good or bad.\par

⁵ The Lord searches for good people,\par but he rejects {\cf2\super [62]} cruel, evil people.\par

⁶ He will make hot coals and burning\par sulphur fall like rain on those bad people.\par Those bad people will get nothing but\par a hot, burning wind. {\cf2\super [63]} \par

⁷ But the Lord is good.\par And he loves people doing good things.\par Good people will \{be with him\}\par and see his face.\par
