(0) Psalm 11 For the director of music. Of David.
(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[1] ?"
(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[2] 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.
