THE BOOK OF PSALMS

- Chapter 11 -

 
 
 
 
I
n the LORD put I my trust: How say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
 
2
For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
 
3
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
 
4
The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
 
5
The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
 
6
Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
 
7
For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
