Psalm 11
Chapter Summary
Fly to God
What a lovely image David uses here—of a bird flying to her mountain nest where she is safe. David had a lot of chances to feel unsafe and hunted. He spent his entire young manhood running from King Saul, and then when he became king, he still had several wars, and even ended up in conflict with his own son! Where does David say his refuge is? Where is yours?
