Psalm 11

1 For the one directing. Of David. <span class=|reftext|><a href=|#|><b>1</b></a> In YHWH I have taken refuge. How can you⁺ say to my soul, “Flee to your⁺ mountain a bird!

2 For, behold, the wicked tread the bow; they make ready their arrow upon the string, to shoot in the darkness at those upright in heart.

3 If the foundations are thrown down, the righteous—what can he do?”

4 YHWH [is] is in His holy temple; YHWH—in the heavens [is] His throne. His eyes are watching, His eyelids examine the sons of man.

5 YHWH tests the righteous, and His soul hates the wicked one and the lover of violence.

6 May He rain [down] coals upon the wicked, fire and brimstone; and a burning wind [is] the portion of their cup.

7 For YHWH [is] righteous; He loves righteousness; the upright one will see His face.
