Where to go when we are in trouble

I love the book of Psalms because it shows the heart of God. I think it is beautiful when a man writes a love poem or song to his wife. David wrote from his heart to God. David was a great writer and the Holy Spirit led him to write Psalm 11.
I love the first verse of this Psalm. It reads, "In the Lord I take refuge." I want to be a friend to people and I can go over the top but the Lord will do ever more than I could.
The second part of verse one to three talks about the people that are against the Bible and God and they will attack the work of God. It could be even people that really don't care about God.
It seems that the people that hate God and the people that are indifferent with God are winning and it causes many believers to be sad. I try to encourage them but it seems that I am losing the battle. 
These words are strong. Psalm 11:1-3 says, "How then can you say to me: 'Flee like a bird to your mountain. For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings
to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart. When the foundations are being destroyed,  what can the righteous do?”
I have great news. I may fail to bring justice in this world but God will never fail. 
Psalm 11:4 says, "The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord is on his heavenly throne.
He observes everyone on earth; his eyes examine them."
God is still in control. People can use words and do their best but put your faith in Jesus.
Remember that God is in control.
People think that they can do all the sin but God will see all their sins. That person is making a grave to hell if they don't repent. The Lord will guide a believer that belongs to him.
Psalm 11:5-6 says, "The Lord examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence, he hates with a passion. On the wicked he will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur; a scorching wind will be their lot."
The person that have accepted Jesus and the person that rejects Jesus, all want justice. The justice that will be served will be based on the God of the Bible. The wicked will get justice when they are judged by God and the people that trusted Jesus will be rewarded.
God wants the wicked to know him so he is kind to them so a person needs to trample on God to go to hell.
Psalm 11:7 says, "For the Lord is righteous, he loves justice; the upright will see his face."
