Faith in the Lord’s Righteousness
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
They make ready their arrow on the string,
That they may shoot1 secretly at the upright in heart.
The Lord’s athrone is in heaven;
bHis eyes behold,
His eyelids test the sons of men.
Fire and brimstone and a burning wind
aShall be1 the portion of their cup.

What Does Psalms 11:3 Mean?
Psalm 11:3
The answer to David's question is that we must do the same thing that the righteous have always done: Be righteous. Obey God's commandments. When adversity comes, we cannot allow ourselves to abandon all we have learned as Christians and fight back with the carnality we worked so hard to overcome. As the apostle Paul writes in Ephesians 4:26, we can “be angry, [but] not sin.” We cannot let exterior turmoil derail our progress toward the Kingdom of God.

Psalm 11:3
The doctrines are our foundation. It is what we believe that produces the faith. If the doctrines are destroyed, what can the righteous do?
