1 In the Lord I seek refuge;how do you say to my soul,“Flee as a bird to your mountain,
2 for the wicked bend their bow;they make ready their arrow on the string,that they may treacherously shootthe upright in heart.
3 If the foundations are broken,what can the righteous do?”
4 The Lord is in His holy temple,His throne is in heaven;His eyes see,His eyes examine mankind.
5 The Lord tests the righteous,but the wicked and one who loves violenceHis soul hates.
6 Upon the wicked He will raincoals of fire and brimstone and a burning wind;this will be the portion of their cup.
7 For the righteous Lordloves righteousness;His countenance beholds the upright.
