11:1 [To the choirmaster. Of David.] In the LORD I take refuge; how can you say to my soul, "Flee like a bird to your mountain, 11:2 for behold, the wicked bend the bow; they have fitted their arrow to the string to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart; 11:3 if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do" 11:4 The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD's throne is in heaven; his eyes see, his eyelids test the children of man. 11:5 The LORD tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence. 11:6 Let him rain coals on the wicked; fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup. 11:7 For the LORD is righteous; he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face.
