1. I have taken refuge in the Lord.So how can you say to me,“Flee to the hills like a bird
2. because the wickedhave already bent their bows;they’ve already strung their arrows;they are ready to secretly shootthose whose heart is right”?
3. When the very bottom of things falls out,what can a righteous person possibly accomplish?
4. But the Lord is in his holy temple.The Lord! His throne is in heaven.His eyes see—his vision examines all of humanity.
5. The Lord examinesboth the righteous and the wicked;his very being hates anyone who loves violence.
