In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

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.

Psalms 11 Study & Commentary
Psalm 11 is David’s response to those who suggest he flee to the mountains. He asserts that his trust is in the Lord, who sits in His holy temple and whose eyes try the children of men.
CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS
1. Foundations of Society: "If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?" (v. 3). When social and moral order collapses, the righteous must look to God on His throne.2. The Lord’s Testing: God "trieth the righteous" (v. 5). Trials are not signs of abandonment but are the Lord’s way of refining and examining His people.
3. Beholding His Face: The upright shall behold God’s countenance. The ultimate reward of faith is the intimate vision and presence of God.
