1 I have taken refuge in the Lord.How can you say to me:“Flee to your mountain like a bird?
2 Wicked people bend their bows.They set their arrows against the stringsto shoot in the dark at people whose motives are decent.
3 When the foundations ⌊of life⌋ are undermined,what can a righteous person do?”
4 The Lord is in his holy temple.The Lord’s throne is in heaven.His eyes see.They examine Adam’s descendants.
5 The Lord tests righteous people,but he hates wicked people and the ones who love violence.
6 He rains down fire and burning sulfur upon wicked people.He makes them drink from a cup filled with scorching wind.
7 The Lord is righteous.He loves a righteous way of life.Decent people will see his face.
