¹ I trust in the LORD for safety. How foolish of you to say to me, "Fly away like a bird to the mountains, ² because the wicked have drawn their bows and aimed their arrows to shoot from the shadows at good people. ³ There is nothing a good person can do when everything falls apart." ⁴ The LORD is in his holy temple; he has his throne in heaven. He watches people everywhere and knows what they are doing. ⁵ He examines the good and the wicked alike; the lawless he hates with all his heart. ⁶ He sends down flaming coals and burning sulfur on the wicked; he punishes them with scorching winds. ⁷ The LORD is righteous and loves good deeds; those who do them will live in his presence.
