1 I trust in the Lord for protection.So why do you say to me,“Fly like a bird to your mountain.
2 Like hunters, the wicked string their bows.They set their arrows on the bowstrings.They shoot from dark placesat those who are honest.
3 When all that is good falls apart,what can good people do?”
4 The Lord is in his holy temple.The Lord sits on his throne in heaven.And he sees what people do.He keeps his eye on them.
5 The Lord tests those who do right.But he hates the wicked and those who love to hurt others.
6 He will send hot coals on the wicked.Burning sulfur and a whirlwind is what they will get.
7 The Lord does what is right, and he loves justice.So honest people will see his face.
