1I run to the LORD for safety. So how can you say to me, ‘Fly away like a bird to your mountain.2Look! Evil people are bending their bows. They are placing their arrows against the strings. They are planning to shoot from the shadows at those who have honest hearts.3When law and order are being destroyed, what can godly people do?’4The LORD is in his holy temple. The LORD is on his throne in heaven. He watches everyone on earth. His eyes study them.5The LORD watches over those who do what is right. But he really hates sinful people and those who love to hurt others.6He will pour out flaming coals and burning sulphur on those who do what is wrong. A hot and dry wind will destroy them.7The LORD always does what is right. So he loves it when people do what is fair. Those who are honest will enjoy his blessing.
English Standard Version
The Lord Is in His Holy Temple
1To the choirmaster. Of David. In the Lord I take refuge; how can you say to my soul, “Flee like a bird to your mountain,2for behold, the wicked bend the bow; they have fitted their arrow to the string to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart;3if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”*4The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord’s throne is in heaven; his eyes see, his eyelids test the children of man.5The Lord tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.6Let him rain coals on the wicked; fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.7For the Lord is righteous; he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face.
