←Prev   Psalms 11 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



11:1  How dare you tell me, “Flee to the mountains for safety,” when I am trusting in the Lord?
11:2  For the wicked have strung their bows, drawn their arrows tight against the bowstrings, and aimed from ambush at the people of God.
11:3  “Law and order have collapsed,” we are told. “What can the righteous do but flee?”
11:4  But the Lord is still in his holy temple; he still rules from heaven. He closely watches everything that happens here on earth.
11:5  He puts the righteous and the wicked to the test; he hates those loving violence.
11:6  He will rain down fire and brimstone on the wicked and scorch them with his burning wind.
11:7  For God is good, and he loves goodness; the godly shall see his face.
