Psalms 11
The book of Psalms contains some of the greatest words ever written, sung, and prayed. The psalms are often lyrics of songs for worship. When you read the Psalms, try to imagine the movement of the people at worship in the Temple. Also, remember that the Psalms are poetry. Therefore, they are more to be proclaimed than explained.
In the LORD put I my trust how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
PSALMS 11:1
For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
PSALMS 11:2
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
PSALMS 11:3
The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
PSALMS 11:4
The LORD trieth the righteous but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
PSALMS 11:5
Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest this shall be the portion of their cup.
PSALMS 11:6
For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
PSALMS 11:7
