11 1 In Yahweh I take refuge;
how can you say to me,
"Flee like a bird to the mountains;
11 2 for lo, the wicked bend the bow,
they have fitted their arrow to the string,
to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart;
11 3 if the foundations are destroyed,
what can the righteous do"?
11 4 Yahweh is in his holy temple,
Yahweh's throne is in heaven;
his eyes behold, his eyelids test, the children of men.
11 5 Yahweh tests the righteous and the wicked,
and his soul hates him that loves violence.
11 6 On the wicked he will rain coals of fire and brimstone;
a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
11 7 For Yahweh is righteous, he loves righteous deeds;
the upright shall behold his face.
