Jehovah the Protector and Avenger of the Persecuted Saint
A. C. Jennings and W. H. Lowe. Psalm 11:1-7 In the LORD put I my trust: how say you to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?… The Psalmist, beset by malicious foes, is warned by some of his adherents to seek refuge in flight. The Psalm is his response to this suggestion. In Jehovah, he says, is his trust, and there is no need for him to fear; Jehovah is watching all human actions from His heavenly sanctuary, and it is certain that He will eventually whelm the ungodly in a terrible ruin, and cheer with the light of His countenance the righteous whom He has proved in the furnace of adversity. The Psalm is Davidic by title, and may perhaps be assigned to the period when David's life was imperilled by the rebellion of Absalom. (A. C. Jennings and W. H. Lowe.) Parallel Verses KJV: {To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain? WEB: In Yahweh, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, "Flee as a bird to your mountain!"
