Both "For the music leader // Psalm of David":
Psalm 11: 1 - 6 (CEB)
I have taken refuge in the LORD. So how can you say to me,
"Flee to the hills like a bird because the wicked have already bent their bows; they've already strung their arrow, they are ready to secretly shoot those whose heart is right?"
When the very bottom of things falls out, what can a righteous person possibly accomplish?
But the LORD is in his holy temple. The LORD His throne is in heaven. His eyes are --
his vision examines all of humanity.
The LORD examined both the righteous and the wicked, his very being / soul hates anyone who loves violence.
God will rain fiery coals and sulfur on the wicked; their cups will be filled with nothing but a scorching hot wind because the LORD is righteous! He loves righteous deeds.
Those whose heart is right will see God's face.
Psalm 12: 1 - 8 (CEB)
Help, LORD; because the godly are all gone; the faithful have completely disappeared from the human race! Everyone tells lies to everyone else; they talk with slick speech and divided hearts.
Let the LORD cut off all slick-talking lips and every tongue that brags and bras, that says, "We're unbeatable with our tongues! Who could get the best of us with lips like ours?"
But the LORD says, "Because the poor are oppressed, because of the groans of the needy, I'm now standing up. I will provide the help they are gasping for."
The LORD's promises are pure, like silver that's been refined in an oven, purified seven times over!
You, LORD, will keep us, protecting us, from this generations forever.
The wicked roam all over the place, while depravity is praised by human beings.
