PSALMS 诗篇011

PSALM¹ 11
1In the Lord I take refuge. How then can you say to me: "Flee like a bird to your mountain.
2For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings² to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.
3When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do ?"
4The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord is on his heavenly throne. He observes the sons of men; his eyes examine them.
5The Lord examines the righteous, but the wicked and those who love violence his soul hates.
6On the wicked he will rain fiery³ coals and burning sulfur⁴; a scorching⁵ wind will be their lot.
7For the Lord is righteous, he loves justice; upright men will see his face.
