For the director of music. Of David.
1 In the Lord I take refuge.
How then can you say to me:
“Flee like a bird to your mountain.
they set their arrows against the strings
to shoot from the shadows
at the upright in heart.
what can the righteous do?”
the Lord is on his heavenly throne.
He observes everyone on earth;
his eyes examine them.
but the wicked, those who love violence,
he hates with a passion.
fiery coals and burning sulfur;
a scorching wind will be their lot.
he loves justice;
the upright will see his face.
