Chapter 11
1 In Yahweh , I take refuge . How can you say to my soul , " Flee as a bird to your mountain "?
2 For , behold , the wicked bend their bows . They set their arrows on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart .
3 If the foundations are destroyed , what can the righteous do ?
4 Yahweh is in his holy temple . Yahweh is on his throne in heaven . His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men .
5 Yahweh examines the righteous , but his soul hates the wicked and him who loves violence .
6 On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulfur , and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup .
7 For Yahweh is righteous . He loves righteousness . The upright shall see his face .
