Psalms 11 God saves the upright and punishes the wicked

 Psalms 11

God saves the upright and punishes the wicked

1 I trust in the Lord; how can you say to my soul, "Flee like a bird to your mountain"?

2 For, behold, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow on the string, that they may shoot secretly at the upright in heart.

3 Surely the foundations are overturned; what can the righteous do?

4 The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord's throne is in heaven; his eyes are watching, his eyelids testing the children of men.

5 The Lord tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and those who love violence.

6 He will rain snares on the wicked, fire and brimstone, and a stormy wind: this is the portion of their cup.

7 For the Lord is righteous and loves justice; his face is toward the upright.
