Trusting the LORD

[Evang. Felecia Spaulding]

Psalm 11

(Contemporary English Version)


(A psalm by David for the music leader.)

Trusting the LORD

1) The LORD is my fortress!

Don't say to me,

"Escape like a bird

to the mountains!"

2) You tell me, "Watch out!

Those evil people

have put

their arrows on their bows,

and they are standing

in the shadows,

aiming at good people.

3) What can an honest person do

when everything crumbles?"

4) The LORD is sitting

in his sacred temple

on his throne in heaven.

He knows everything we do

because he sees us all.

5) The LORD tests honest people,

but despises those

who are cruel

and love violence.

6) He will send fiery coals [a] and flaming sulfur

down on the wicked,

and they will drink nothing

but a scorching wind.

7) The LORD always does right

and wants justice done.

Everyone who does right

will see his face
