1In Yahweh I have taken refuge; how can you say to my soul, “Flee to your mountain like a bird”?
2For look: The wicked ⌞string the bow⌟. They have fitted their arrow to the string, to shoot from the darkness at the upright of heart.
3When the foundations are destroyed what can the righteous do?
4Yahweh is in his holy temple; Yahweh is in the heavens on his throne. His eyelids see; they test the children of humankind.
5Yahweh tests the righteous, but the wicked and the lover of violence his soul hates.
6He will rain coals on the wicked. Burning sulfur and scorching wind will be the portion of their cup.
7For Yahweh is righteous; he loves righteous deeds. The upright shall see his face.
