1 I have taken refuge in the Lord. How can you say to me,“Escape to the mountain like a bird!
2 For look, the wicked string the bow;they put the arrow on the bowstringto shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.
3 When 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 watch; He examines everyone.
5 The Lord examines the righteous and the wicked.He hates the lover of violence.
