11:1 In the Lord I have taken shelter.1
How can you say to me,2
“Flee to a mountain like a bird!3
11:2 For look, the wicked4 prepare5 their bows,6
they put their arrows on the strings,
to shoot in the darkness7 at the morally upright.8
11:3 When the foundations9 are destroyed,
what can the godly10 accomplish?”11
11:4 The Lord is in his holy temple;12
the Lord’s throne is in heaven.13
his eyes16 examine17 all people.18
11:5 The Lord approves of19 the godly,20
but he21 hates22 the wicked and those who love to do violence.23
11:6 May the Lord rain down24 burning coals25 and brimstone26 on the wicked!
A whirlwind is what they deserve!27
11:7 Certainly28 the Lord is just;29
he rewards godly deeds;30
the upright will experience his favor.31
