Beloved of All
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?”
4
The Lord is in his holy temple;
the Lord is on his heavenly throne.
He observes everyone on earth;
his eyes examine them.
5
The Lord examines the righteous,
but the wicked, those who love violence,
he hates with a passion.
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;
the upright will see his face.
