Psalm 11 New King James Version (NKJV)

Faith in the Lord’s Righteousness

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

11 In ^(A)the Lord I put my trust;
How can you say to my soul,
“Flee as a bird to your mountain”?
²For look! ^(B)The wicked bend their bow,
They make ready their arrow on the string,
That they may shoot ^[a]secretly at the upright in heart.
³^(C)If the foundations are destroyed,
What can the righteous do?

⁴The Lord is in His holy temple,
The Lord’s ^(D)throne is in heaven;
^(E)His eyes behold,
His eyelids test the sons of men.
⁵The Lord ^(F)tests the righteous,
But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.
⁶Upon the wicked He will rain coals;
Fire and brimstone and a burning wind
^(G)Shall be ^[b]the portion of their cup.

⁷For the Lord is righteous,
He ^(H)loves righteousness;
^[c]His countenance beholds the upright.
