2 You tell me, “Watch out!Those evil people have puttheir arrows on their bows,and they are standingin the shadows,aiming at good people.
3 What can an honest person dowhen everything crumbles?”
4 The Lord is sittingin his sacred templeon his throne in heaven.He knows everything we dobecause he sees us all.
5 The Lord tests honest people,but despises thosewho are crueland love violence.
6 He will send fiery coalsand flaming sulfurdown on the wicked,and they will drink nothingbut a scorching wind.
7 The Lord always does rightand wants justice done.Everyone who does rightwill see his face.
