1 I trust in the LORD for safety.
How foolish of you to say
to me,
" Fly away like a bird to the
mountains,
2 because the wicked have drawn
their bows and aimed their
arrows
to shoot from the shadows at
good people.
3 There is nothing a good person
can do
when everything fall apart."
4. The LORD is in his holy temple;
he has his throne in heaven.
He watches people everywhere
and knows what they are doing.
5 He examines the good and the
wicked alike:
the lawless he hates with all
his heart.
6 He sends down flaming coals and
burning sulfur on the wicked;
he punishes them with
scorching winds.
7 The LORD is righteous and loves
good deeds;
those who do them will live in
his presence.
