Psalm 11 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

The Lord, a Refuge and Defense.

For the music director. A Psalm of David.

11 In the Lord I ^(A)take refuge;
How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your ^(B)mountain?
²For, behold, the wicked ^(C)bend the bow,
They have ^[a]^(D)set their arrow on the string
To ^(E)shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
³If the ^(F)foundations are destroyed,
What can the righteous do?”

⁴The Lord is in His ^(G)holy temple; the ^[b]Lord’s ^(H)throne is in heaven;
His ^(I)eyes see, His eyelids test the sons of mankind.
⁵The Lord ^(J)tests the righteous and ^(K)the wicked,
And His soul hates one who loves violence.
⁶He will ^(L)rain ^[c]coals of fire upon the wicked,
^(M)And brimstone and ^(N)burning wind will be the portion of ^(O)their cup.
⁷For the Lord is ^(P)righteous, ^(Q)He loves ^[d]righteousness;
The upright will ^(R)see His face.
