Psalms 11

Psalms 11:3

If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

O God, they have undermined me in the very foundations of my being and subsisting: how can I then hold out? Let me be never so upright and innocent, yet I must needs, for ought I can do, fall under their violence.

Psalms 11:4

The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’s throne is in heaven.

But howsoever such measure be offered me by men, yet my comfort is, that I have a God, who dwells above in the glorious temple of heaven, who can and will redress my wrongs.

Psalms 11:6

Upon the wicked he shall rain snares; fire and brimstone.

He will, in his due time, execute most terrible and dreadful judgments upon the wicked, such as he did upon Sodom and Gomorrah: he shall rain down upon their heads fire and brimstone, which shall surprise them suddenly, and ensnare them without possibility of escape.
