Psalms 11:1–3
When the foundations of society crumble, the righteous find their security in the Lord rather than in the mountains of self-preservation.
1 In Yahweh, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain”?
2 For, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
3 If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?
When the foundations of society crumble, the righteous find their security in the Lord rather than in the mountains of self-preservation.
To express an unwavering commitment to God as the ultimate refuge, rejecting the pragmatic but fear-based advice to retreat during times of societal and moral collapse.
Taking Refuge in the LORD When Foundations Shake
When the foundations seem destroyed, the righteous take refuge in the LORD who still reigns, sees, tests, judges, and loves justice.
