God is calling us to a place of safety. His protection is all encompassing. He would never put us in harm's way. We may be put into situations that compromise our safety, but the Lord will protect us.
"In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to Your mountain?"(11:1) Our souls speak to us saying come to My refuge.
"For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart."(11:2) David sees that the enemy is lurking to kill the upright.
"If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?"(11:3) The foundations of God's refuge are rock solid, and the righteous can run into it and know that they will be safe.
"The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men."(11:4) God is watching us and He knows all things.
"The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence His soul hateth."(11:5) Hatred is a strong feeling and God does hate the wicked and the violent.
"Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be portion of their cup."(11:6) The wicked will be judged and David alliterates their judgments here.
"For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; His countenance doth behold the upright."(11:7) He is righteous and He knows that we seek to please Him.
