1
To the choirmaster. Of David. In the LORD I take refuge; how can you say to me, "Flee like a bird to the mountains;
2
for lo, the wicked bend the bow, they have fitted their arrow to the string, to shoot in the dark 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 behold, his eyelids test, the children of men.
5
The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked, and his soul hates him that loves violence.
6
On the wicked he will rain coals of fire and brimstone; a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
7
For the LORD is righteous, he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face.
