For the music director; by David.
11:1 In the Lord I have taken shelter. 2
How can you say to me, 3
“Flee to a mountain like a bird! 4
11:2 For look, the wicked 5 prepare 6 their bows, 7
they put their arrows on the strings,
to shoot in the darkness 8 at the morally upright. 9
11:3 When the foundations 10 are destroyed,
what can the godly 11 accomplish?” 12
11:4 The Lord is in his holy temple; 13
the Lord’s throne is in heaven. 14
His eyes 15 watch; 16
his eyes 17 examine 18 all people. 19
11:5 The Lord approves of 20 the godly, 21
but he 22 hates 23 the wicked and those who love to do violence. 24
11:6 May the Lord rain down 25 burning coals 26 and brimstone 27 on the wicked!
A whirlwind is what they deserve! 28
11:7 Certainly 29 the Lord is just; 30
he rewards godly deeds; 31
the upright will experience his favor. 32
