Text: Psalms 11
Introduction: Psalms 11 is written by David to the Chief Musician. This was most likely Asaph, another authour found in the book of Psalms. Psalm 11 is a prayer of a righteous person in the midst of persecution. His trust in God as his protection (refuge) leads him to express his confidence, rather than to lament his difficult situation. While his advisors urge him to flee the threat, he calmly faces the trouble, knowing that God is with the righteous to help them, while he judges the wicked. Psalms 46 and 48 similarly express confidence in the midst of turmoil because of the presence of God with his people.
