     [ Illustration: In his opening statement, David acknowledges a refuge that is greater than any he can find by flight (such as that depicted above) -- it is refuge in God himself. ]



SPECIAL NOTE:

[ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ]



     Explanation: In Psalm 11, David expresses his confidence that the LORD will protect him and judge his enemies. The occasion for the Psalm is unspecified, but it was a time of persecution such as those under Saul, early in David's life or his son Absalom, later in his life.
     David begins the Psalm by stating that he has a greater refuge (the LORD himself) than any he can find by fleeing to some mountain stronghold, as some advised him to do. Their warning was of imminent danger to David. The wicked had bent their bow and placed their arrow upon its string. They were ready to shoot secretly at the upright in heart. And, if they destroyed the foundations, what cold the righteous do? The implication was that David could, at any moment, loose everything, including his life (1-3).
     But David looked to the LORD, where the LORD sat in his holy temple, enthroned in heaven, and from which his eyes searched the children of men. He tried the righteous (by implication finding them innocent). But upon the wicked and the violent the LORD will rain snares, fire and brimstone, and a "horrible tempest" or a "scorching wind." That will be the portion of their cup because the "righteous LORD loves righteousness; his countenance beholds the upright" (4-7).

RESOURCES

PLEASE NOTE: Use the resources on this and other sites thoughtfully, particularly the commentaries and encyclopedias. I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

from the time of David around 1016 B. C. to the close of the Canon in about 404 B. C.
Psalm 90, according to its superscription, was written by Moses; this may have been around 1406 B. C.

1To the chief Musician [Transposed To Psalm 10 *


A Psalm of David.


In the LORD put I my trust:
how say ye to my soul,
Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow,
they make ready their arrow upon the string,
that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
3 If the foundations be destroyed,
what can the righteous do?


4 The LORD is in his holy temple,
the LORD'S throne is in heaven:
his eyes behold,
his eyelids try,
the children of men.
5 The LORD trieth the righteous:
but the wicked
and him that loveth violence
his soul hateth.
6 Upon the wicked
he shall rain snares,
fire and brimstone,
and an horrible tempest:
this shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness;
his countenance doth behold the upright.


1To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, [Transposed From Psalm 12:1 *
