Who have you
placed your trust in?
On who do
you depend when things get tough.
David's
friends advise him to flee to the wilderness from Saul's fury, vv. 1-3. He
answers that, having put his trust in God, knowing that he forsakes not those
who confide in him, and that he will punish the ungodly, he is perfectly
satisfied that he shall be in safety, vv. 4-7.
Listen to
his prayer
Psalm 11:1-7 (ESV)
1 In the LORD I take refuge; how can you say to my soul, “Flee like a bird to your mountain,
2 for behold, the wicked bend the bow; they have fitted their arrow to the string to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart;
3 if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”
4 The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD’s throne is in heaven; his eyes see, his eyelids test the children of man.
5 The LORD tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.
6 Let him rain coals on the wicked; fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the LORD is righteous; he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face.

This too shall pass
