Psalm 11

Introductory Affirmation (11:1a)

The Two Voices
1.  The Voice Urging Flight (11:1b-3)
2.  The Voice Urging Faith (11:4-7)

“If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (Psalm 11:3; KJV)

Curiously, David doesn't answer his question with an answer.  He answers it with a declaration.  “Jehovah is in his holy temple, Jehovah, his throne is in heaven…” (Psalm 11:4; ASV).  His point is unmistakable.  –GOD is unaffected by our storms.  He is undeterred by our problems.  He is unfrightened by these problems.  He is in His holy temple.  He is on His throne in heaven.  Foundations have fallen, but He has not.  GOD has made a business out of turning tragedy into triumph.
