¹ (A psalm by David for the music leader.) The LORD is my fortress! Don't say to me, "Escape like a bird to the mountains!" ² You tell me, "Watch out! Those evil people have put their arrows on their bows, and they are standing in the shadows, aiming at good people. ³ What can an honest person do when everything crumbles?" ⁴ The LORD is sitting in his sacred temple on his throne in heaven. He knows everything we do because he sees us all. ⁵ The LORD tests honest people, but despises those who are cruel and love violence. ⁶ He will send fiery coals and flaming sulfur down on the wicked, and they will drink nothing but a scorching wind. ⁷ The LORD always does right and wants justice done. Everyone who does right will see his face.
