1To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?2For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.3If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?4The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD' throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.5The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.6Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.7For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
Psalm 11
English Standard Version
The Lord Is in His Holy Temple
1To the choirmaster. Of David. In the Lord I take refuge; how can you say to my soul, “Flee like a bird to your mountain, (1Sa 23:14; 1Sa 23:19; 1Sa 24:2; 1Sa 26:19)2for behold, the wicked bend the bow; they have fitted their arrow to the string to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart; (Ps 7:10; Ps 7:12; Ps 21:12; Ps 58:7; Ps 64:4; Jer 9:3)3if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”[1] (Ps 82:5; Eze 30:4)4The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord’s throne is in heaven; his eyes see, his eyelids test the children of man. (Job 23:10; Ps 2:4; Ps 18:6; Isa 66:1; Mic 1:2; Hab 2:20; Mt 5:34; Mt 23:22; Ac 7:49)5The Lord tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence. (Ge 22:1; Ps 5:5; Jas 1:12)6Let him rain coals on the wicked; fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup. (Ge 19:24; Job 18:15; Job 21:20; Ps 75:8; Eze 38:22)7For the Lord is righteous; he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face. (Ps 17:15; Ps 33:5; Ps 140:13; 1Jo 3:2; Re 22:4)
