Psalms 11
Theme: God’s rule provides stability in the midst of panic. Because we can trust him, we can face our problems.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain? +
2For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. +
3If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? +
4The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men. +
5The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. +
6Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup. +
7For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright. +
