Taking Refuge in the Lord
In Psalm 11, David expresses his determination to find refuge in the Lord despite facing danger and threats from his enemies. He rejects the advice of others to flee, asserting that his trust and refuge are in the Lord alone. David emphasizes that God is present in his holy temple and heaven, observing everything with clarity. The righteous will be tested, but God opposes the wicked and those who love violence. The wicked will face divine judgment, symbolized by rain of coals, fire, sulfur, and a scorching wind. The righteous, on the other hand, will be rewarded with the opportunity to behold the face of God.
