←Prev   Psalms 11 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



11:1  This is a song that David wrote for the music leader. I have run to the Lord to keep me safe. So do not say this to me: ‘Fly away like a bird to the hills!
11:2  See what the wicked people are doing! They are preparing their bows and arrows. They are hiding in dark places, to shoot their arrows at good, honest people.
11:3  When the law no longer has authority, righteous people can do nothing!’
11:4  The Lord is in his holy temple. He rules from his throne in heaven. He carefully watches what people are doing. He knows about each person.
11:5  The Lord watches both good people and wicked people. Good people please him, but he hates wicked people and cruel people.
11:6  He will send hot coal and sulphur to fall like rain on wicked people. A dangerous wind will be the punishment that they deserve.
11:7  The Lord always does what is right. He loves people to do good things. Those who do what is right will know that God loves them.
