  • No wonder King David is known as the man after God’s heart.

Psalms 11:1-7
[1]I trust in the Lord for safety.     How foolish of you to say to me, “Fly away like a bird to the mountains,    
[2]because the wicked have drawn their bows and aimed their arrows     to shoot from the shadows at good people.
[3]There is nothing a good person can do     when everything falls apart.”
[4]The Lord is in his holy temple;     he has his throne in heaven. He watches people everywhere     and knows what they are doing.
[5]He examines the good and the wicked alike;     the lawless he hates with all his heart.
[6]He sends down flaming coals and burning sulphur on the wicked;     he punishes them with scorching winds.
[7]The Lord is righteous and loves good deeds;     those who do them will live in his presence.
