Good News Translation

Psalms 11

   |   

Confidence in the Lord[a]

1 I trust in the Lord for safety.
    How foolish of you to say to me,
"Fly away like a bird to the mountains,[b]
2     because the wicked have drawn their bows and aimed their arrows
    to shoot from the shadows at good people.
3 There is nothing a good person can do
    when everything falls apart."

4 The Lord is in his holy temple;
    he has his throne in heaven.
He watches people everywhere
    and knows what they are doing.
5 He examines the good and the wicked alike;
    the lawless he hates with all his heart.

6 He sends down flaming coals[c] and burning sulfur on the wicked;
    he punishes them with scorching winds.
7 The Lord is righteous and loves good deeds;
    those who do them will live in his presence.
