| Chapter 11 |
1 |
For the chief music-maker. Of David. In the Lord put I my faith; how will you say to my soul, Go in flight like a bird to the mountain? -
|
2 |
See, the bows of the evil-doers are bent, they make ready their arrows on the cord, so that they may send them secretly against the upright in heart. -
|
3 |
If the bases are broken down, what is the upright man to do? -
|
4 |
The Lord is in his holy Temple, the Lord's seat is in heaven; his eyes are watching and testing the children of men. -
|
5 |
The Lord puts the upright and the sinner to the test, but he has hate in his soul for the lover of violent acts. -
|
6 |
On the evil-doer he will send down fire and flames, and a burning wind; with these will their cup be full. -
|
7 |
For the Lord is upright; he is a lover of righteousness: the upright will see his face. -
