Psalms 11Faith In The Lord’s Righteousness
To The Chief Musician, A Psalm Of David
King James Version
1 In the Lord put I my trust:
how say ye to my soul,
Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow,Flee as a bird to your mountain?
they make ready their arrow upon the string,
that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
3 If the foundations be destroyed,that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
what can the righteous do?
4 The Lord is in his holy temple,
the Lord's throne is in heaven:
his eyes behold, his eyelids try,
the children of men.
5 The Lord trieth the righteous:his eyes behold, his eyelids try,
the children of men.
but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares,fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest:
this shall be the portion of their cup.
this shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness;
his countenance doth behold the upright.
The Lord A Refuge And Defense
