« | Psalm 11 | » |
1 For the end, A Psalm of David. In the Lord I have put my trust: how will you say to my soul, Flee to the mountains as a sparrow?
2 For behold the sinners have bent their [bow], they have prepared their arrows for the quiver, to shoot secretly at the upright in heart.
3 For they have pulled down what You framed, but what has the righteous done?
4 The Lord is in His holy temple; as for the Lord, His throne is in heaven: His eyes look upon the poor, His eyelids test the sons of men.
5 The Lord tests the righteous and the ungodly: and he that loves unrighteousness hates his own soul.
6 He shall rain upon sinners snares, fire, and brimstone, and a stormy blast [shall be] the portion of their cup.
7 For the Lord [is] righteous, and loves righteousness; His face beholds uprightness.
