Psalm 11

1. The LORD’s my refuge! Why do you keep saying,
   “Flee like a bird that to the mountain wings.
   For look, the wicked bend their bows for slaying;
   they fit their sharpened arrows to the strings
   to shoot in secret those who rightness cherish.
   What can the righteous who to justice clings
   still do if the foundations fall and perish?”
   
   
2. The LORD is on his throne in heaven’s palace.
   He sees the sons of Adam from that height;
   his eyes inspect their virtues and their malice.
   God hates those who in violence delight;
   he sends them storms and brimstone fiercely burning.
   The LORD is righteous. All who are upright
   shall see his face and fill their deepest yearning.
