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

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 the wicked and him who loves violence his soul hates. 6 On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulfur, 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.

1 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.
