¹ To the Chief Musician or Choir Leader. of David. IN THE Lord I take refuge ; how can you say to me, Flee like a bird to your mountain? ² For see, the wicked are bending the bow; they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they in darkness may shoot at the upright in heart. ³ If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do, or what has He wrought or accomplished? ⁴ The Lord is in His holy temple; the Lord's throne is in heaven. His eyes behold; His eyelids test and prove the children of men. ⁵ The Lord tests and proves the righteous, but His soul abhors the wicked and him who loves violence. ⁶ Upon the wicked He will rain quick burning coals or snares; fire, brimstone, and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup. ⁷ For the Lord is righteous, He loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold His face, or He beholds the upright.
