| 1 | For the choir director: A psalm of David. I trust in the LORD for protection. So why do you say to me, “Fly like a bird to the mountains for safety! | |
| 2 | The wicked are stringing their bows and fitting their arrows on the bowstrings. They shoot from the shadows at those whose hearts are right. | |
| 3 | The foundations of law and order have collapsed. What can the righteous do?” | |
| 4 | But the LORD is in his holy Temple; the LORD still rules from heaven. He watches everyone closely, examining every person on earth. | |
| 5 | The LORD examines both the righteous and the wicked. He hates those who love violence. | |
| 6 | He will rain down blazing coals and burning sulfur on the wicked, punishing them with scorching winds. | |
| 7 | For the righteous LORD loves justice. The virtuous will see his face. |
