Psalm 11 11 Psalms Book 1 Brenton Septuagint In the LORD I Take Refuge (Habakkuk 1:12–17)
1 Brenton For the end, a Psalm of David. In the Lord I have put my trust: how will ye say to my soul, Flee to the mountains as a sparrow? BSB BSB: For the choirmaster. Of David. In the LORD I take refuge. How then can you say to me: “Flee like a bird to your mountain!
2 Brenton For behold the sinners have bent their bow, they have prepared their arrows for the quiver, to shoot privily at the upright in heart. BSB BSB: For behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrow on the string to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.
3 Brenton For they have pulled down what thou didst frame, but what has the righteous done? BSB BSB: If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”
4 Brenton The Lord is in his holy temple, as for the Lord, his throne is in heaven: his eyes look upon the poor, his eyelids try the sons of men. BSB BSB: The LORD is in His holy temple; the LORD is on His heavenly throne. His eyes are watching closely; they examine the sons of men.
5 Brenton The Lord tries the righteous and the ungodly: and he that loves unrighteousness hates his own soul. BSB BSB: The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked; His soul hates the lover of violence.
6 Brenton He shall rain upon sinners snares, fire, and brimstone, and a stormy blast shall be the portion of their cup. BSB BSB: On the wicked He will rain down fiery coals and sulfur; a scorching wind will be their portion.
7 Brenton For the Lord is righteous, and loves righteousness; his face beholds uprightness. BSB BSB: For the LORD is righteous; He loves justice. The upright will see His face.
