Chapter 11

  For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David. In Jehovah do I take refuge: How say ye to my soul, Flee [as] a bird to your mountain;  

-

  For, lo, the wicked bend the bow, They make ready their arrow upon the string, That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart;  

-

  If the foundations be destroyed, What can the righteous do?  

-

  Jehovah is in his holy temple; Jehovah, his throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.  

-

  Jehovah trieth the righteous; But the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.  

-

  Upon the wicked he will rain snares; Fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.  

-

  For Jehovah is righteous; he loveth righteousness: The upright shall behold his face.
