Psalms 11 - trusting in God

Psalms 11 starts out by saying that I trust the Lord.  Then, goes on to say how foolish it is to run away from God when it feels like your whole world is falling apart--he uses a metaphor of a bird flying away when wicked men aim their bows at good men.

God watches all from his temple, examining the deeds of both the good and wicked.  He hates the lawless, and punishes them for their deeds.

The good, however, are rewarded.

It's a short Psalm, only 7 verses, but a powerful one--if you need a quick pick-me-up, this one will do it.
