Confidence in the Lord (PSA 11:1-7)

[11:1] I trust in the Lord for safety. How foolish of you to say to me, “Fly away like a bird to the mountains,

[11:2] because the wicked have drawn their bows and aimed their arrows to shoot from the shadows at good people.

[11:3] There is nothing a good person can do when everything falls apart.”

[11:4] The Lord is in his holy temple; he has his throne in heaven. He watches people everywhere and knows what they are doing.

[11:5] He examines the good and the wicked alike; the lawless he hates with all his heart.

[11:6] He sends down flaming coals and burning sulfur on the wicked; he punishes them with scorching winds.

[11:7] The Lord is righteous and loves good deeds; those who do them will live in his presence.
