“我投靠耶和华，你们怎么对我说：“你要像飞鸟逃到你的山上去。”
诗篇 11:1
“In the Lord I take refuge. How then can you say to me: “Flee like a bird to your mountain.”
Psalms 11:1
In Psalm 11, David’s conviction that his refuge was in God compelled him to resist suggestions to flee rather than face his foes (vv. 2-3). Six simple words comprised his statement of faith: “In the Lord I take refuge” (v. 1). That well-rooted conviction would guide his conduct.
David’s words in verses 4-7 amplified God’s greatness. Yes, life can sometimes be like a battlefield, and hostile fire can send us scattering for cover when we’re bombarded with health challenges or financial, relational, and spiritual stresses. So, what should we do?
Acknowledge that God is the king of the universe (v. 4); take delight in His amazing capacity to judge with precision (vv. 5-6); and rest in His delight in what’s right, fair, and equitable (v. 7). We can run swiftly to God for shelter.
