Psalm 11 (NLT) - Soft

Psalm 11
For the choir director: A psalm of David.

1
I trust in the Lord for protection.
So why do you say to me,
“Fly like a bird to the mountains for safety!
2
The wicked are stringing their bows
and fitting their arrows on the bowstrings.
They shoot from the shadows
at those whose hearts are right.
3
The foundations of law and order have collapsed.
What can the righteous do?”

4
But the Lord is in his holy Temple;
the Lord still rules from heaven.
He watches everyone closely,
examining every person on earth.
5
The Lord examines both the righteous and the wicked.
He hates those who love violence.
6
He will rain down blazing coals and burning sulfur on the wicked,
punishing them with scorching winds.
7
For the righteous Lord loves justice.
The virtuous will see his face.
