Psalm 11

Refuge in the Lord

For the choir director. Davidic.

I have taken refuge in the Lord. k

How can you say to me,

“Escape to the mountain like a bird! l m

For look, the wicked string the bow;

they put the n arrow on the bowstring

to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart. o

When the foundations are destroyed,

what can the righteous do?” p

The Lord is in His holy temple; q

the Lord’s throne is in heaven. r

His eyes watch; He examines s * everyone.

The Lord examines the righteous and the wicked.

He hates the lover of violence. t

He will rain burning coals u and sulfur on the wicked;

a scorching wind will be their portion. v w

For the Lord is righteous; He loves righteous deeds.

The upright will see His face. x

The complete Holman Christian Standard Bible® is now available for the first time ever! More than fifteen years in the making, crafted by the shared expertise of nearly a hundred conservative scholars and English stylists, the Holman CSB® sets the standard in painstaking biblical accuracy and pure literary form.

Accurate, yet highly readable, it's a translation committed to leaving both the grace and gravity of the original languages intact while carefully creating a smooth flow of wording for the reader.

Stylistically, this inaugural edition contributes to the clarity of the written Word, arranging the poetic portions of the Scripture into complete lines of thought, and revering God's presence on each page by capitalizing all the pronouns that refer to Him.
