11 I have taken refuge in the Lord.
    So how can you say to me,^[a]
    “Flee to the hills like a bird
²         because the wicked
        have already bent their bows;
        they’ve already strung their arrows;
        they are ready to secretly shoot
        those whose heart is right”?
³ When the very bottom of things falls out,
    what can a righteous person possibly accomplish?

112 Praise the Lord!
    Those who honor the Lord,
    who adore God’s commandments, are truly happy!
² Their descendants will be strong throughout the land.
    The offspring of those who do right will be blessed;
³     wealth and riches will be in their houses.
    Their righteousness stands forever.
⁴ They shine in the dark for others who do right.
    They are merciful, compassionate, and righteous.
⁵ Those who lend generously are good people—
    as are those who conduct their affairs with justice.
⁶ Yes, these sorts of people will never be shaken;
    the righteous will be remembered forever!
⁷ They won’t be frightened at bad news.
    Their hearts are steady, trusting in the Lord.
⁸ Their hearts are firm; they aren’t afraid.
    In the end, they will witness their enemies’ defeat.
⁹ They give freely to those in need.
    Their righteousness stands forever.
    Their strength increases gloriously.
¹⁰ The wicked see all this and fume;
        they grind their teeth, but disappear to nothing.
    What the wicked want to see happen comes to nothing!

113 Praise the Lord!
    You who serve the Lord—praise!
    Praise the Lord’s name!
² Let the Lord’s name be blessed
    from now until forever from now!
³ From sunrise to sunset,
    let the Lord’s name be praised!
⁴ The Lord is high over all the nations;
    God’s glory is higher than the skies!
