Psalm 11 - Tree of Life Version

Judgment from Heaven

¹ For the music director, a psalm of David. In Adonai I have taken shelter. How can you say to my soul: “Fly like a bird to your mountain?

² For look, the wicked bend the bow. They fix their arrow on the bowstring so they can shoot from the shadows at those who are upright in heart.

³ If our foundations are destroyed, what should the righteous do?”

⁴ Adonai is in His holy Temple. Adonai’s throne is in heaven. His eyes are watching. His eyelids observe the children of men.

⁵ Adonai examines the righteous. But the wicked and one loving violence His soul hates.

⁶ On the wicked He will rain down fire, brimstone and scorching wind as the portion of their cup!

⁷ For Adonai is righteous—He loves justice. The upright will see His face.
