Psalm 11

The Holy One is my safety.

Why then do you question me,

why do you say,

“Fly like a bird to your mountain!

See how your shadow-self bends back the bow,

knocking the arrow against the string

taking aim against your heart of hearts …

If the foundations are being destroyed

what can the faithful do?”

Our Protector occupies the Sanctuary.

Our Guardian is enthroned in Heaven

and observes everyone on earth;

the eye of Godde studies mortals.

Godde notices those who draw near,

even as Godde sees our violence

and responds to evil with passion and compassion.

Wielding fiery coals and burning sulfur,

sending the scorching wind,

Godde will transform wickedness,

for our Protector draws near

to create a just love.

Raise your eyes to see Godde's face.
