17The Lord is King for ever and ever; *
the ungodly shall perish from his land.
18The Lord will hear the desire of the humble; *
you will strengthen their heart and your ears shall hear;
19To give justice to the orphan and oppressed, *
so that mere mortals may strike terror no more.
11In Domino confido
1In the Lord have I taken refuge; *
how then can you say to me,
“Fly away like a bird to the hilltop;
2For see how the wicked bend the bow
and fit their arrows to the string, *
to shoot from ambush at the true of heart.
3When the foundations are being destroyed, *
what can the righteous do?”
4The Lordis in his holy temple; *
the Lord’s throne is in heaven.
5His eyes behold the inhabited world; *
his piercing eye weighs our worth.
6The Lord weighs the righteous as well as the wicked, *
but those who delight in violence he abhors.
7Upon the wicked he shall rain coals of fire and burning sulphur; *
a scorching wind shall be their lot.
8For the Lord is righteous;
he delights in righteous deeds; *
and the just shall see his face.
596Psalm 11
