Psalm 11 (God's Word)
I have taken refuge in the LORD. How can you say to me: "Flee to your mountain like a bird?
Wicked people bend their bows. They set their arrows against the strings to shoot in the dark at people whose motives are decent. When the foundations of life are undermined, what can a righteous person do?" The LORD is in his holy temple. The LORD'S throne is in heaven. His eyes see. They examine Adam's descendants. The LORD tests righteous people, but he hates wicked people and the ones who love violence. He rains down fire and burning sulfur upon wicked people. He makes them drink from a cup filled with scorching wind. The LORD is righteous. He loves a righteous way of life. Decent people will see his face.Psalm 11
I have taken refuge in the Lord. How can you say to me “Flee
To your mountain like a bird?
Wicked people bend their bows. They set their arrow
Against the strings to shoot in the dark at
People whose motives are decent
The LORD is in His holy temple. The Lord’s throne is in heaven.
His eyes see. They examine Adam’s descendants.
The Lord test righteous people, but he hates wicked people
And the ones who love violence love violence
He rains down fire and burning sulphur upon the wicked people.
He makes them drink from a cup filled with scorching wind.
The Lord is righteous. He loves a righteous way of life.
Decent people will see His face
