The God's Word Translation - Psalm 11
For the choir director; by David.
1 I have taken refuge in the LORD.
How can you say to me:
"Flee to your mountain like a bird?
2 Wicked people bend their bows.
They set their arrows against the strings
to shoot in the dark at people whose motives are decent.
3 When the foundations of life are undermined,
what can a righteous person do?"
4 The LORD is in his holy temple.
The LORD's throne is in heaven.
His eyes see.
They examine Adam's descendants.
5 The LORD tests righteous people,
but he hates wicked people and the ones who love violence.
6 He rains down fire and burning sulfur upon wicked people.
He makes them drink from a cup filled with scorching wind.
7 The LORD is righteous.
He loves a righteous way of life.
Decent people will see his face.
