1 In the LORD I take refuge. How then can you say to me: “Flee like a bird to your mountain!
2 For behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrow on the string to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.
3 If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”
4 The LORD is in His holy temple; the LORD is on His heavenly throne. His eyes are watching closely; they examine the sons of men.
5 The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked; His soul hates the lover of violence.
6 On the wicked He will rain down fiery coals and sulfur; a scorching wind will be their portion.
7 For the LORD is righteous; He loves justice. The upright will see His face.
