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
