Psalm 11 Faith in the Lord’s Righteousness | The Lord a Refuge and Defense

Psalm 11:1-7 Faith in the Lord’s Righteousness | The Lord a Refuge and Defense
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

Genesis 11:1-3
1 In the Lord I put my trust;
How can you say to my soul,
“Flee as a bird to your mountain”?
2
For look! The wicked bend their bow,
They make ready their arrow on the string,
That they may shoot secretly at the upright in heart.
3
If the foundations are destroyed,
What can the righteous do?

Psalm 11:4-6
4
The Lord is in His holy temple,
The Lord’s throne is in heaven;
His eyes behold,
His eyelids test the sons of men.
5
The Lord tests the righteous,
But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.
6
Upon the wicked He will rain coals;
Fire and brimstone and a burning wind
Shall be the portion of their cup.

Psalm 11:7
7
For the Lord is righteous,
He loves righteousness;
His countenance beholds the upright.
