Psalm 11

For the director of music. Of David.

In theLordI take refuge.(A)
    How then can you say to me:
    “Flee(B)like a bird to your mountain.(C)
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)
When the foundations(H)are being destroyed,
    what can the righteous do?”

TheLordis in his holy temple;(I)
    theLordis on his heavenly throne.(J)
He observes everyone on earth;(K)
    his eyes examine(L)them.
TheLordexamines the righteous,(M)
    but the wicked, those who love violence,
    he hates with a passion.(N)
On the wicked he will rain
    fiery coals and burning sulfur;(O)
    a scorching wind(P)will be their lot.

For theLordis righteous,(Q)
    he loves justice;(R)
    the upright(S)will see his face.(T)
