Psalms 11

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

1In YhwhH3068 put I my trustH2620: how sayH559 ye to my soulH5315, FleeH5110 as a birdH6833 to your mountainH2022?

2For, lo, the wickedH7563 bendH1869 their bowH7198, they make readyH3559 their arrowH2671 upon the stringH3499, that they may privilyH1119H652 shootH3384 at the uprightH3477 in heartH3820.1

3If the foundationsH8356 be destroyedH2040, what can the righteousH6662 doH6466?

4YhwhH3068 is in his holyH6944 templeH1964, Yhwh'sH3068 throneH3678 is in heavenH8064: his eyesH5869 beholdH2372, his eyelidsH6079 tryH974, the childrenH1121 of menH120.

5YhwhH3068 triethH974 the righteousH6662: but the wickedH7563 and him that lovethH157 violenceH2555 his soulH5315 hatethH8130.

6Upon the wickedH7563 he shall rainH4305 snaresH6341, fireH784 and brimstoneH1614, and an horribleH2152 tempestH7307: this shall be the portionH4521 of their cupH3563.2

7For the righteousH6662 YhwhH3068 lovethH157 righteousnessH6666; his countenanceH6440 doth beholdH2372 the uprightH3477.
