Psalm 11:1-Psalm 12:1 - Refuge In The Lord

¹ For the choir director. Davidic.I have taken refuge in the Lord.
How can you say to me,
“Escape to the mountain like a bird!
² For look, the wicked string the bow;
they put the arrow on the bowstring
to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.
³ When 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 watch; He examines everyone.
⁵ The Lord examines the righteous and the wicked.
He hates the lover of violence.
⁶ He will rain burning coals and sulfur on the wicked;
a scorching wind will be their portion.
⁷ For the Lord is righteous; He loves righteous deeds.
The upright will see His face.

¹ For the choir director: according to Sheminith. A Davidic psalm.Help, Lord, for no faithful one remains;
the loyal have disappeared from the human race.
