Psalm 11:1–5

Psalm 11:1–53 matched frames1 pivot

Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 11:1 In Yahweh put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
    • B 11:2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
      • C 11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
        • D 11:4 Yahweh is in his holy temple, Yahweh's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
      • C' 11:5 Yahweh trieth the righteous:
    • B' 11:5 but the wicked and him that loveth violence
  • A' 11:5 his soul hateth.
