Bible

1 For the choir director. Of David. [1] I have taken refuge in the LORD. How can you say to me, “Escape to the mountains like a bird! 2 For look, the wicked string bows; they put their arrows on bowstrings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart. 3 When the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” 4 The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD—his throne is in heaven. His eyes watch; his gaze examines everyone. 5 The LORD examines the righteous, but he hates the wicked and those who love violence. 6 Let him rain burning coals and sulfur on the wicked; let a scorching wind be the portion in their cup. 7 For the LORD is righteous; he loves righteous deeds. The upright will see his face.
