Psalms 11Psalms 11 Summary
Head for the Hills?
Society’s pillars are cracking, and David’s advisors are screaming for him to evacuate. The advice is practical, the danger is real, and the archers are already in the shadows. But David refuses the 'sensible' retreat, pivoting from a crumbling earth to a seated King. This isn't a prayer for safety; it's a declaration of who actually holds the gavel when the world goes dark.
The Hinge Point
Psalm 11 rejects the logic of panic. It argues that when the 'foundations' of justice are destroyed, the solution isn't a change in geography, but a change in perspective—from the chaos of the streets to the scrutiny of the Throne.
“In the Lord I take refuge; how can you say to my soul, 'Flee like a bird to your mountain'?”
Psalm 11:1
