Psalm 11:1

Under this threat of destruction 

my heart has its own instruction 

Fly not as a crow to the hills 

fleeing from this wicked world’s ills 

I fought not Goliath alone 

The Lord of Hosts brings me Shalom

Psalm 11:2

Shadows sneaking in on the side 

Seeking God’s kingdom to divide 

Scheming in secret about us 

In God alone you place your trust? 

Their arrows fly to pierce your heart 

In your peace I can have no part

11:3

When the foundations of the earth shift, 

Will faith in sovereign God drift? 

What can a single righteous man do 

When the long dreaded destruction comes true?

11:4 

In His holy temple He stands 

For communion of God and man 

He is still on His holy throne 

Heaven’s power is His alone 

Nothing ever escapes His sight 

He justly divides dark from light

11:5

Yahweh tries even beloved light 

The light that brings joy to His sight

How then could the wicked’s fate 

Be less than Hell if them He hates?

Those that love violence have no place 

Unless they take His offered grace

11:6

The just LORD’S fearsome cup of wrath 

Is poured upon the wicked path

A rain of calamity there 

Justice through wind and fire and snare

For sins against the righteous LORD 

All of these are man’s just reward

11:7

Yahweh is the foundation stone 

Of righteousness, and He alone

He’s loving toward a holy man 

Made holy through His perfect plan

When He looks upon you and me 

He sees Jesus at Calvary
