1 Psalm 11 Yahweh Is in His Holy Temple For the choir director. Of David.In Yahweh I take refuge;How can you say to my soul, “Fleeasa bird to your mountain;
2 For, behold, the wicked bend the bow,They 11:2Or fixed make ready their arrow upon the stringTo shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
3 “If the foundations are destroyed,What can the righteous do?”
4 ¶Yahweh is in His holy temple; 11:4 Lit Yahweh, His throne Yahweh’s throne is in heaven;His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men.
5 Yahweh tests the righteous,But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.
6 May He rain 11:6Or coals of fire snares upon the wicked;Fire and brimstone and burning wind will be the portion of their cup.
7 For Yahweh is righteous, He loves 11:7Or righteous deeds righteousness;The upright will behold His face.
