Psalm 11
Faith, Not Flight
Heading

For the choir director. By David.

The Fear of the Fainthearted

1 In the Lord I take refuge.

How can you say to my soul:
“Flee to your mountain like a bird.
2 Look! The wicked bend their bow.
They set their arrow against the string
    to shoot in the darkness at the upright in heart.
3 When the foundations are being torn down,
    what can the righteous do?”

David’s Answer

4 The Lord is in his holy temple.

The Lord is on his throne in heaven.
His eyes observe.
He focuses on [1] the children of Adam. [2]
5 The Lord is righteous.
He examines the wicked.
He really hates [3] those who love violence.
6 On the wicked he will rain down fiery coals and sulfur. [4]
A scorching wind will be the cup given to them.
7 Indeed, the Lord is righteous. He loves righteousness.
The upright will view his face.

Psalm 12
Proud Words vs. Pure Words
Heading

For the choir director. According to sheminith. [5] A psalm by David.

The Proud Words of the Ungodly

1 Save us, Lord, for the merciful have disappeared.

The faithful have vanished from among mankind.

2 Everyone speaks falsehood to his neighbor.

Their flattering lips speak double-talk. [6]
3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips.
May he cut off every tongue that speaks boastfully,
4 which says, “With our tongues we will establish our power.
We say what we please. [7] Who is lord over us?”

The Pure Words of the Lord

5 “Because of the destruction of the oppressed,

because of the groaning of the poor,
now I will rise up,” says the Lord.
“I will keep him safe from the one who puffs against him.” [8]
6 The words of the Lord are pure words,
like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times.
7 You, Lord, will keep them safe.
You will protect them from such people forever.
8 The wicked strut around
    when depravity is honored by the children of Adam.

Footnotes
  1. Psalm 11:4 Literally his eyelids test
  2. Psalm 11:4 Or sons of man, that is, all mankind
  3. Psalm 11:5 Literally his soul hates
  4. Psalm 11:6 The Hebrew text reads snares, fire, and sulfur. The translation follows one Greek version, which inverts two letters in one Hebrew word, changing snares to fiery coals.
  5. Psalm 12:1 Sheminith is apparently derived from the Hebrew word for eight. It may refer to an eight-stringed instrument, to the bass voice, to low-pitched stringed instruments, or, most likely, to a method for tuning a stringed instrument (1 Chronicles 15:21).
  6. Psalm 12:2 Literally speak with a heart and a heart
  7. Psalm 12:4 Literally our lips are with us
  8. Psalm 12:5 Or in the safety he desires
