Psalm 11

Revised Geneva Translation

11 In the LORD I put my trust. How, then, can you say to my soul, “Flee to your mountain as a bird”?

² For lo, the wicked bend their bow and make ready their arrows upon the string, so that they may secretly shoot at those who are upright in heart.

³ For if the foundations are cast down, what can the righteous do?

⁴ The LORD is in His Holy palace. The LORD’s throne is in the sky. His eyes behold. His eyelids try the children of men.

⁵ The LORD will try the righteous. But the wicked, and he who loves iniquity, His soul hates.

⁶ Upon the wicked He shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and stormy tempest. This is the portion of their cup.

⁷ For the righteous LORD loves righteousness. His face beholds the just. To him who excels upon the eight tune: A Psalm of David.
