Psalm 11 for the director of music
how can you say ‘flee like a bird to your mountain'
for behold the wicked bend the bow and fit the arrow
they shoot aimless in the dark
at the upright heart…
but if the foundations are allowed to be destroyed by you
what can the righteous do
for the lord is in his holy temple
and his throne sits firm in heavens heights
and his eyelids test the child of man
but his soul hates the wicked and their lies
the lord loves the righteous and his deeds the upright shall see his face his face
