Psalm 11:1-7 American Standard Version (ASV)

1. In Jehovah do I take refuge: How say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain;

2. For, lo, the wicked bend the bow, They make ready their arrow upon the string, That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart;

3. If the foundations be destroyed, What can the righteous do?

4. Jehovah is in his holy temple; Jehovah, his throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

5. Jehovah trieth the righteous; But the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

6. Upon the wicked he will rain snares; Fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.

7. For Jehovah is righteous; he loveth righteousness: The upright shall behold his face.
