1 In the LORD I take refuge;
How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2 “For, behold, the wicked bend the bow,
They have set their arrow on the string
To shoot in darkness 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’S throne is in heaven;
His eyes see, His eyelids test the sons of mankind.
5 The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked,
And His soul hates one who loves violence.
6 He will rain coals of fire upon the wicked,
And brimstone and burning wind will be the portion of their cup.
7 For the LORD is righteous, He loves righteousness;
The upright will see His face.
