In the Lord I take refuge.
How then can you say to me:
“Flee like a bird to your mountain."
The Lord is in his holy temple;
the Lord is on his heavenly throne.
He observes everyone on earth;
his eyes examine them.
For the Lord is righteous,
he loves justice;
the upright will see his face.
Working through the psalms means reading themes that repeat themselves. Psalm 11 is much like Psalm 10. God will bring justice for the righteous. The wicked will experience doom because of their violence.
I, for one, tend to be turned off by the wrath of God talk, but it is good to be reminded that God is in His heaven watching over all the earth and working out His good and perfect will.
The promise of this psalm is that the upright will see God's face. In the Old Testament that is a way of saying that God will give favor and shower blessing upon you.
Remember Aaron's blessing.
Numbers 6:24-26 NIV.
“ ‘ “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” ’
May you be given life through your hope in seeing God's face.
