Psalms 11 - Christian Standard Bible Anglicised（CSBA）

Refuge in the Lord

For the choir director. Of David.

1I have taken refuge in the  Lord. 

How can you say to me,

‘Escape to the mountains  like a bird! 

2For look, the wicked string bows;

they put their arrows on bowstrings

to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart. 

3When the foundations are destroyed,

what can the righteous do? ’ 

4The Lord is in his holy temple; 

the Lord  #– #his throne is in heaven. 

His eyes watch;

his gaze  examines everyone. 

5The Lord examines the righteous,

but he hates the wicked

and  those who love violence. 

6Let him rain burning coals  and sulphur on the wicked;

let a scorching wind be the portion in their cup. 

7For the Lord is righteous; he loves righteous deeds.

The upright will see his face.
