1 In Yahweh, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain!”

2 For, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings,

That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart. 3 If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?

4 Yahweh is in his holy temple. Yahweh is on his throne in heaven.

His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.

5 Yahweh examines the righteous, But the wicked and him who loves violence his soul hates.

6 On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; Fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

7 For Yahweh is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.
