Psalm 11

In Domino confido

The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 8 verses

  1. 1

    In the LORD have I taken refuge; *
    how then can you say to me, "Fly away like a bird to the hilltop;

  2. 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. 3

    When the foundations are being destroyed, *
    what can the righteous do?"

  4. 4

    The LORD is in his holy temple; *
    the LORD'S throne is in heaven.

  5. 5

    His eyes behold the inhabited world; *
    his piercing eye weighs our worth.

  6. 6

    The LORD weighs the righteous as well as the wicked, *
    but those who delight in violence he abhors.

  7. 7

    Upon the wicked he shall rain coals of fire and burning sulphur; *
    a scorching wind shall be their lot.

  8. 8

    For the LORD is righteous; he delights in righteous deeds; *
    and the just shall see his face.
