The Psalmist looks around and finds that the faithful seem to have vanished, the fake, empty words of the world seem to be prevailing.  But the Lord hears the Psalmist’s cry and responds.  The Words of the Lord are pure, enduring forever.  The promises of the Lord, including that he will preserve the godly to the end, are certain.

When we feel threatened, we are tempted to run away from God and His calling for our lives. Psalm 11 shows us that we can take refuge in the LORD and remain faithful because He is reigning, He is righteous, and the upright will behold His face.
