Psalm 11
In Domino confido
The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 8 verses
- 1
In the LORD have I taken refuge; *
how then can you say to me, "Fly away like a bird to the hilltop; - 2
For see how the wicked bend the bow and fit their arrows to the string, *
to shoot from ambush at the true of heart. - 3
When the foundations are being destroyed, *
what can the righteous do?" - 4
The LORD is in his holy temple; *
the LORD'S throne is in heaven. - 5
His eyes behold the inhabited world; *
his piercing eye weighs our worth. - 6
The LORD weighs the righteous as well as the wicked, *
but those who delight in violence he abhors. - 7
Upon the wicked he shall rain coals of fire and burning sulphur; *
a scorching wind shall be their lot. - 8
For the LORD is righteous; he delights in righteous deeds; *
and the just shall see his face.
