Psalms 11
David encourageth himself in God against his enemies.
Psalms 11:1 {For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David.} In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain? Psalms 11:2 For, lo, the wicked bend the bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart. Psalms 11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
The providence and justice of God.
Psalms 11:4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD, his throne is in heaven; his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men. Psalms 11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. Psalms 11:6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares; fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup. Psalms 11:7 For the LORD is righteous; he loveth righteousness: the upright shall behold his face.
