Psalm 11:1-7

To the Chief Musician. David’s. 11  In Yahweh have I sought refuge, How can ye say to my soul, Flee to a mountain like a little bird;  For lo! the lawless bend the bow, They have fixed their arrow upon the string, To shoot in the darkness at the upright in heart:  When the pillars are overthrown, What could a righteous man do?  Yahweh is in his holy temple, As for Yahweh in the heavens is his throne, His eyes behold—His eyelashes test the sons of men.  Yahweh putteth the righteous to the test,—But the lawless one and the lover of violence his soul doth hate.  He will rain upon the lawless live-coals,—Fire and brimstone and a burning wind are the portion of their cup.  For righteous is Yahweh, Righteousness he loveth, The upright shall behold his face.
