¹ To the choirmaster. Of David. In the LORD I take refuge; how can you say to my soul, "Flee like a bird to your mountain, ² for behold, the wicked bend the bow; they have fitted their arrow to the string to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart; ³ if 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 see, his eyelids test, the children of man. ⁵ The LORD tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence. ⁶ Let him rain coals on the wicked; fire and sulfur 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.
