Psalm 11, NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION
Prior Chapter   |   Next Chapter

1

In the LORD I take refuge.
How then can you say to me:
“Flee like a bird to your mountain.
 

2

For look, the wicked bend their bows;
they set their arrows against the strings
to shoot from the shadows
at the upright in heart.
 

3

When the foundations are being destroyed,
what can the righteous do?”
 

4

The LORD is in his holy temple;
the LORD is on his heavenly throne.
He observes the sons of men;
his eyes examine them.
 

5

The LORD examines the righteous,
but the wicked and those who love violence
his soul hates.
 

6

On the wicked he will rain
fiery coals and burning sulfur;
a scorching wind will be their lot.
 

7

For the LORD is righteous,
he loves justice;
upright men will see his face.
