Psalm 11 - God and Anarchy.

Psalm 11 As I see it.

Why do you tell me to flee? I will trust in the Lord for protection. Evil people want to kill me, in fact, they are against all good people. The foundations of law and order have collapsed! What are the righteous to do?

The Lord is in His holy Temple; the Lord still rules from heaven. (This shows absolute faith and trust in God no matter what is happening around us.) He watches everything closely, examining everyone on earth. He tests both the good and the evil. He will punish the wicked.

The Lord is good and He loves justice. Those who do what is right will one day see His face.

David wrote this when Saul was King of Israel. Saul did evil and killed those who were good. Law and order were overthrown. We can learn from David how to believe if we ever live in such a place or time. "The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord still rules from heaven." We must keep our eyes on God and be at peace.
