Psalm 11.

Sometimes, when the whole world appears even more insane than usual, one can turn to the psalms and feel encouraged.






1 In the LORD I take refuge. How then can you say to me: "Flee like a bird to your mountain.

2 For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.










3 When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?"

4 The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD is on his heavenly throne. He observes the sons of men; his eyes examine them.

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

6 On the wicked he will rain fiery coals and burning sulphur; a scorching wind will be their lot.












7 For the LORD is righteous, He loves justice; upright men will see His face.
