Psalms 11

1For the leader. Of David.In GOD I take refuge;how can you say to me,“Take to the hills like a bird!

2For see, the wicked bend the bow,they set their arrow on the stringto shoot from the shadows at the upright.

3When the foundations are destroyed,what can the righteous do?”

4GOD is in the divine holy palace; GOD—whose throne is in heaven,whose eyes behold, whose gaze searches humankind.

5GOD seeks out someone righteous,but loathes the wicked one who loves injustice.

6[God] will rain down upon the wicked blazing coals and sulfur;a scorching wind shall be their lot.

7For GOD is righteous,and loves righteous deeds;the upright shall behold God’s face.
