PSALM 11

The LORD Loves Justice

For the director; a psalm to David.

1 Upon the lord I have yielded. How shall you say to my soul, Migrate unto the mountains as a sparrow? 2 For behold, the sinners stretch tight the bow; they prepare arrows for the quiver, to shoot in moonlight the straight in heart. 3 That which you readied, they demolished; but the just, what did they do? 4 The lord is in [²temple ¹his holy]; the lord is in heaven his throne; his eyes [²unto ³the ⁴needy ¹pay attention]; his eyelids inquire diligently of the sons of men. 5 The lord inquires diligently to the just and the impious; but the one loving injustice detests his own soul. 6 He shall rain [²upon ³sinners ¹snares]; fire and sulphur and [²wind ¹a gale] shall be the portion of their cup. 7 For the lord is just, and [²righteousness ¹he loves]; [³straightness ²perceived ¹his face].
