PSALM 11
Yahweh Is in His Holy Temple
For the choir director. Of David.
1In Yahweh I take refuge;
How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain;
2For, behold, the wicked bend the bow,
They #11:2 Or fixedmake ready their arrow upon the string
To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
3“If the foundations are destroyed,
What can the righteous do?”
4¶Yahweh is in His holy temple; #11:4 Lit Yahweh, His throneYahweh’s throne is in heaven;
His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men.
5Yahweh tests the righteous,
But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.
6May He rain #11:6 Or coals of firesnares upon the wicked;
Fire and brimstone and burning wind will be the portion of their cup.
7For Yahweh is righteous, He loves #11:7 Or righteous deedsrighteousness;
The upright will behold His face.
