Psalms 11— NLT

1I trust in the LORD for protection. So why do you say to me, "Fly to the mountains for safety!

2The wicked are stringing their bows and setting their arrows in the bowstrings. They shoot from the shadows at those who do right.

3The foundations of law and order have collapsed. What can the righteous do?"

4But the LORD is in his holy Temple; the LORD still rules from heaven. He watches everything closely, examining everyone on earth.

5The LORD examines both the righteous and the wicked. He hates everyone who loves violence.

6He rains down blazing coals on the wicked, punishing them with burning sulfur and scorching winds.

7For the LORD is righteous, and he loves justice. Those who do what is right will see his face.
