1
For the leader. By David: In ADONAI I find refuge. So how can you say to me, "Flee like a bird to the mountains!
2
See how the wicked are drawing their bows and setting their arrows on the string, to shoot from the shadows at honest men.
3
If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?"
4
ADONAI is in his holy temple. ADONAI, his throne is in heaven. His eyes see and test humankind.
5
ADONAI tests the righteous; but he hates the wicked and the lover of violence.
6
He will rain hot coals down on the wicked, fire, sulfur and scorching wind will be what they get to drink.
7
For ADONAI is righteous; he loves righteousness; the upright will see his face.
