1I have taken refuge in Jehovah. How can you say to me: "Flee to your mountain like a bird?« 2Wicked people bend their bows. They set their arrows against the strings to shoot in the dark at people who are upright in heart. 3What can a righteous person do when the foundations of life are destroyed? 4Jehovah is in his holy temple. Jehovah’s throne is in heaven. His eyes see. They examine the sons of men. 5Jehovah tests examines righteous and wicked people alike. He hates wicked people and the ones who love violence. 6He rains down fire and burning sulfur upon wicked people. He makes them drink from a cup filled with scorching wind. 7Jehovah is righteous. He loves a righteous way of life. Upright people will see his face contemplate his presence.
