In the LORD I atake refuge; How can you say to my soul, "Flee as a bird to your bmountain;
2For, behold, the wicked abend the bow, They 1 bmake ready their arrow upon the string To cshoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
3If the afoundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?"
4The LORD is in His aholy temple; the 1LORD'S bthrone is in heaven; His ceyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men.
5The LORD atests the righteous and bthe wicked, And the one who loves violence His soul hates.
6Upon the wicked He will arain 1snares; bFire and brimstone and cburning wind will be the portion of dtheir cup.
7For the LORD is arighteous, bHe loves 1righteousness; The upright will cbehold His face.
