PSALM 11
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician,
A Psalm of David.
1I in the Lord do put my trust:
how is it then that ye
Say to my soul, Flee, as a bird,
unto your mountain high?
2For, lo, the wicked bend their bow,
their shafts on string they fit,
That those who upright are in heart
they privily may hit.
3If the foundations be destroy'd,
what hath the righteous done?
4God in his holy temple is,
in heaven is his throne:
His eyes do see, his eye-lids try
5men's sons. The just he proves:
But his soul hates the wicked man,
and him that vi'lence loves.
6Snares, fire and brimstone, furious storms,
on sinners he shall rain:
This, as the portion of their cup,
doth unto them pertain.
7Because the Lord most righteous doth
in righteousness delight;
And with a pleasant countenance
beholdeth the upright.

Faith in the Lord’s Righteousness
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1In #Ps. 56:11the Lord I put my trust;
How can you say to my soul,
“Flee as a bird to your mountain”?
2For look! #Ps. 64:3, 4The wicked bend their bow,
They make ready their arrow on the string,
That they may shoot secretly at the upright in heart.
3#Ps. 82:5; 87:1; 119:152If the foundations are destroyed,
What can the righteous do?
4The Lord is in His holy temple,
The Lord’s #Ps. 2:4; (Is. 66:1); Matt. 5:34; 23:22; (Acts 7:49); Rev. 4:2throne is in heaven;
#(Ps. 33:18; 34:15, 16)His eyes behold,
His eyelids test the sons of men.
5The Lord #Gen. 22:1; (James 1:12)tests the righteous,
But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.
6Upon the wicked He will rain coals;
Fire and brimstone and a burning wind
#1 Sam. 1:4; Ps. 75:8; Ezek. 38:22Shall be the portion of their cup.
7For the Lord is righteous,
He #Ps. 33:5; 45:7loves righteousness;
His countenance beholds the upright.
