Psalm 11
A psalm written by David for the choir director
1 I trust that Yahweh will protect me.
So I do not fly off to the mountains like birds do.
2 It is true that wicked people have hidden in the darkness,
that they have pulled back their bowstrings and aimed their arrows
to shoot them at people who honor Yahweh.
3 When wicked people do not suffer for disobeying the laws,
what can righteous people do?
4 But Yahweh is sitting on his throne in his sacred temple in heaven,
and he sees everything that people do.
5 Yahweh examines what righteous people do and what wicked people do,
and he hates those who love to injure others.
6 He will send down from the sky flaming coals and burning sulfur on the wicked;
he will send scorching hot winds to punish them.
7 Yahweh does everything that is right, and he loves those who do what is right;
such people will come into his presence.
