1 Psalm 11 Refuge in the Lord For the choir director. Of David. I have taken refuge in the Lord . How can you say to me, “Escape to the mountains Lit your mountain like a bird!2 For look, the wicked string bows; they put their arrows on bowstrings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.3 When the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do? ”4 The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord —his throne is in heaven. His eyes watch; his gaze Lit eyelids examines everyone. Or examines the descendants of Adam 5 The Lord examines the righteous, but he hates the wicked and Or righteous and the wicked, and he hates those who love violence.6 Let him rain burning coals Sym; MT reads rain snares, fire and sulfur on the wicked; let a scorching wind be the portion in their cup.7 For the Lord is righteous; he loves righteous deeds. The upright will see his face.
