Psalms Chapter 11 (New International Version)
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.
