Psalm 11, Chant C

Psalm 11     In Domino confido

1 In the Lord have I tak-en re-fuge; *
how then can you say to me, “Fly away like a bird to the hil-ltop;

2 For see how the wicked bend the bow and fit their arrows to the string, *
to shoot from ambush at the true of heart.

3 When the foundations are being de-stroyed, *
what can the righ-teous do?”

4 The Lord is in his ho-ly tem-ple; *
the Lord’s throne is in hea-ven.

5 His eyes behold the in-ha-bit-ed world; *
his piercing eye weighs our worth.

6 The Lord weighs the righteous as well as the wic-ked, *
but those who delight in violence he ab-hors.

7 Upon the wicked he shall rain coals of fire and burn-ing sul-phur; *
a scorching wind shall be their lot.

8 For the Lord is righteous; he delights in righ-teous deeds; *
and the just shall see his face.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Ho–ly Spir-it: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ev–er. A-men.
