Psalm 11 - The English Standar Version

¹ In the LORD I take refuge; how can you say to my soul, "Flee like a bird to your mountain,

² for behold, 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?"[1]

⁴ The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD's throne is in heaven; his eyes see, his eyelids test, the children of man.

⁵ The LORD tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.

⁶ Let him rain coals on the wicked; fire and sulfur and 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.
