Confidence in Yahweh’s Righteousness
11 For the music director. Of David.a
1 In Yahweh I have taken refuge;
how can you say to my soul,
“Flee to your mountain like a bird”?
2 For look: The wicked ⌊string the bow⌋.b
They have fitted their arrow to the string,
to shoot from the darkness
at the upright of heart.
3 When the foundations are destroyed
what can the righteous do?c
4 Yahweh is in his holy temple;
Yahweh is in the heavens on his throne.
His eyelids see;
they test the children of humankind.
but the wicked and the lover of violence
his soul hates.
6 He will rain coalsd on the wicked.
Burning sulfur and scorching wind
will be the portion of their cup.
he loves righteous deeds.
The upright shall see his face.
