Psalms 11
Of David
1 In Yahweh I take shelter. How can you say to me, ‘Bird, fly back to your mountain:
2 ‘see how the wicked are bending their bows and fitting their arrows to the string, ready to shoot the upright from the shadows.
3 When foundations fall to ruin, what can the virtuous do?’
4 Yahweh is in his holy Temple, Yahweh whose throne is in heaven; his eyes look down at the world, his searching gaze scans all mankind.
5 The virtuous and the wicked are under Yahweh’s scrutiny, and his soul hates anyone who loves brutality.
6 He rains coals of fire and brimstone on the wicked, he serves them a scorching wind to swallow down.
7 Yahweh is righteous, he loves virtue, upright men will contemplate his face.
