Psalms Chapter 11 (NRSVCE)

Compare with Version:

¹ In the LORD I take refuge; how can you say to me, “Flee like a bird to the mountains; [1]

² for look, the wicked bend the bow, they have fitted their arrow to the string, to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart.

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

⁴ The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD’s throne is in heaven. His eyes behold, his gaze examines humankind.

⁵ The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked, and his soul hates the lover of violence.

⁶ On the wicked he will rain coals of fire and sulfur; a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

⁷ For the LORD is righteous; he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face.
