1En Jehová he confiado; ¿Cómo decís a mi alma, Que escape al monte cual ave?
2Porque he aquí, los malos tienden el arco, Disponen sus saetas sobre la cuerda, Para asaetear en oculto a los rectos de corazón.
3Si fueren destruidos los fundamentos, ¿Qué ha de hacer el justo?
4Jehová está en su santo templo; Jehová tiene en el cielo su trono; Sus ojos ven, sus párpados examinan a los hijos de los hombres.
5Jehová prueba al justo; Pero al malo y al que ama la violencia, su alma los aborrece.
6Sobre los malos hará llover calamidades; Fuego, azufre y viento abrasador será la porción del cáliz de ellos.
7Porque Jehová es justo, y ama la justicia; El hombre recto mirará su rostro.

Ps 11 The psalmist affirms his faith in the righteous God. Even though the world appears hopelessly chaotic, both the godly and the wicked can count on God’s justice. The godly can depend on him as a refuge and shelter.
11:1 God provides protection (or refuge; see 5:11; 9:9; 25:20) when the foundations of justice collapse. • The mountains provide another place of refuge (see 121:1).

11:2-3 In the inevitable battle between the evil and the godly, the wicked cannot tolerate the righteous, so they victimize them. This seems to leave the godly with nothing but questions.
11:2 The wicked live in the shadows and create gloom for the godly (82:5; 139:11; 143:3; Prov 4:19).
