Psalm 11 New International Version (NIV)

Psalm 11

For the director of music. Of David.

¹In the Lord I take refuge.^(A)
    How then can you say to me:
    “Flee^(B) like a bird to your mountain.^(C)
²For look, the wicked bend their bows;^(D)
    they set their arrows^(E) against the strings
to shoot from the shadows^(F)
    at the upright in heart.^(G)
³When the foundations^(H) are being destroyed,
    what can the righteous do?”

⁴The Lord is in his holy temple;^(I)
    the Lord is on his heavenly throne.^(J)
He observes everyone on earth;^(K)
    his eyes examine^(L) them.
⁵The Lord examines the righteous,^(M)
    but the wicked, those who love violence,
    he hates with a passion.^(N)
⁶On the wicked he will rain
    fiery coals and burning sulfur;^(O)
    a scorching wind^(P) will be their lot.

⁷For the Lord is righteous,^(Q)
he loves justice;^(R)
the upright^(S) will see his face.^(T)
