Psalm 11

PSALM 11

Yahweh Is in His Holy Temple

For the choir director. Of David.

¹In Yahweh I ^atake refuge;

How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your ^bmountain;

²For, behold, the wicked ^abend the bow,

They ^1bmake ready their arrow upon the string

To ^cshoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

³“If the ^afoundations are destroyed,

What can the righteous do?”

⁴Yahweh is in His ^aholy temple; ¹Yahweh’s ^bthrone is in heaven;

His ^ceyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men.

⁵Yahweh ^atests the righteous,

But ^bthe wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.

⁶May He ^arain ¹snares upon the wicked;

^bFire and brimstone and ^cburning wind will be the portion of ^dtheir cup.

⁷For Yahweh is ^arighteous, ^bHe loves ¹righteousness;

The upright will ^cbehold His face.
