Chapter 11
1 In the LORD , 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 The LORD is in his holy temple . The LORD is on his throne in heaven . His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men .
5 The LORD examines the righteous , but his soul hates the wicked and him who loves violence .
6 On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulphur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup .
7 For the LORD is righteous . He loves righteousness . The upright shall see his face .
