Psalm 11 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Yahweh Is in His Holy Temple

Psa 11:1

For the choir director. Of David.

In Yahweh I take refuge;

How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain;

Psa 11:2

For, behold, the wicked bend the bow,

They [fn]make ready their arrow upon the string

To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

Psa 11:3

“If the foundations are destroyed,

What can the righteous do?”

Psa 11:4

Yahweh is in His holy temple; [fn]Yahweh’s throne is in heaven;

His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men.

Psa 11:5

Yahweh tests the righteous,

But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.

Psa 11:6

May He rain [fn]snares upon the wicked;

Fire and brimstone and burning wind will be the portion of their cup.

Psa 11:7

For Yahweh is righteous, He loves [fn]righteousness;

The upright will behold His face.
