Psalm 11*Confidence in the Presence of God1For the leader. Of David. I In the Lord I take refuge; how can you say to me, “Flee like a bird to the mountains!a 2See how the wicked string their bows, fit their arrows to the string to shoot from the shadows at the upright of heart.b 3*If foundations are destroyed, what can the just one do?” II 4The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord’s throne is in heaven.c God’s eyes keep careful watch; they test the children of Adam. 5The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked, hates those who love violence, 6And rains upon the wicked fiery coals and brimstone, a scorching wind their allotted cup.*d 7The Lord is just and loves just deeds; the upright will see his face.
