Psalm 11

Olmutz, S.M. [E]

1. 1 My trust is in the LORD;
        How can you say to me,
"Now like a bird from peril haste
        And to your mountain flee!

2. 2 "The wicked bend the bow
        With arrow fixed for flight,
And stealthily in darkness go
        The true in heart to smite.

3. 3 "Foundations are destroyed!
        What can the righteous try?"
4 The LORD is in His holy place;
        The LORD's throne is on high.

4. His eyes will surely see,
        His eyelids try men's sons.
5 The LORD tries just and wicked men;
        His soul hates cruel ones.

5. 6 Upon all wicked men
        He'll rain entangling snares.
Brimstone and fire and burning wind
        He for their cup prepares.

6. 7 For righteous is the LORD,
        And He loves righteousness;
And every one who upright is
        Will see His gracious face.
