Psalm 11
New International Version
Psalm 11
For the director of music. Of David.
1 In the Lord I take refuge.(A)
How then can you say to me:
“Flee(B) like a bird to your mountain.(C)
2 For look, the wicked bend their bows;(D)
they set their arrows(E) against the strings
to shoot from the shadows(F)
at the upright in heart.(G)
3 When the foundations(H) are being destroyed,
what can the righteous do?”
4 The Lord is in his holy temple;(I)
the Lord is on his heavenly throne.(J)
He observes everyone on earth;(K)
his eyes examine(L) them.
5 The Lord examines the righteous,(M)
but the wicked, those who love violence,
he hates with a passion.(N)
6 On the wicked he will rain
fiery coals and burning sulfur;(O)
a scorching wind(P) will be their lot.

Psalm 11
Revised Geneva Translation
11 In the LORD I put my trust. How, then, can you say to my soul, “Flee to your mountain as a bird”?
2 For lo, the wicked bend their bow and make ready their arrows upon the string, so that they may secretly shoot at those who are upright in heart.
3 For if the foundations are cast down, what can the righteous do?
4 The LORD is in His Holy palace. The LORD’s throne is in the sky. His eyes behold. His eyelids try the children of men.
5 The LORD will try the righteous. But the wicked, and he who loves iniquity, His soul hates.
6 Upon the wicked He shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and stormy tempest. This is the portion of their cup.
7 For the righteous LORD loves righteousness. His face beholds the just. To him who excels upon the eight tune: A Psalm of David.
