Psalm 11 complete

[1] To the choir master. Di Davide. In the Lord I took refuge, how can you tell me: "Flee like a sparrow towards the mountain"?

[2] Behold, the wicked stretch the bow, adjust the arrow on the rope to strike the straight in the dark in the dark.


[3] When the foundations are shaken, what can the righteous do?

[4] But the Lord in the holy temple, the Lord has the throne in heaven. His eyes are open to the world, his pupils scan every man.

[5] The Lord scrutinizes righteous and ungodly, he hates those who love violence.

[6] It will rain on the wicked embers, fire and sulfur, burning wind will touch them in fate;

[7] The Lord is just, he loves the right things; righteous men will see his face.
