Psalm 11

1 In the LORD have I taken refuge;
how then can you say to me,
"Fly away like a bird to the hilltop;
2 For see how the wicked bend the bow
and fit their arrows to the string,
to shoot from ambush at the true of heart.
3 When the foundations are being destroyed,
what can the righteous do?"
4 The LORD is in his holy temple;
the LORD'S throne is in heaven.
5 His eyes behold the inhabited world;
his piercing eye weighs our worth.
6 The LORD weighs the righteous as well as the wicked,
but those who delight in violence he abhors.
7 Upon the wicked he shall rain coals of fire and burning sulphur;
a scorching wind shall be their lot.
8 For the LORD is righteous;
he delights in righteous deeds;
and the just shall see his face.
