Psalms
Chapter 11
In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
Summary
David declares his trust in the LORD when counseled to flee from the wicked who bend their bow against the upright. The LORD in his holy temple beholdeth and trieth all men, raining judgment upon the wicked while his countenance beholdeth the upright, for the righteous LORD loveth righteousness.
