Psalms11

Psalm 11 opens with David declaring his unwavering trust in the Lord, rejecting advice to flee from his adversaries. He acknowledges the wicked's plots against the upright and the potential destruction of societal foundations. Despite this, David affirms the Lord's sovereign presence in heaven, His watchful eye over humanity, and His ultimate judgment upon the wicked, while He loves and beholds the righteous.

Trust in the Lord Amidst Danger

1
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. In the Lord put I my trust: howe say yee then to my soule, Flee to your mountaine as a birde?
2
For loe, the wicked bende their bowe, and make readie their arrowes vpon the string, that they may secretly shoote at them, which are vpright in heart.
3
For the foundations are cast downe: what hath the righteous done?

The Lord Rules from Heaven

4
The Lord is in his holy palace: the Lordes throne is in the heauen: his eyes wil consider: his eye lids will try the children of men.
5
The Lord will try the righteous: but the wicked and him that loueth iniquitie, doeth his soule hate.
6
Vpon the wicked he shall raine snares, fire, and brimstone, and stormie tempest: this is the porcion of their cup.
7
For the righteous Lord loueth righteousnes: his countenance doeth beholde the iust.
