1To the conductor. Of David. In the LORD I have sought refuge. How can you say to my soul, 'Flee, flee to your mountain, O bird'?2For behold, the wicked tread the bow; they have prepared their arrow upon the cord to shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.3For the foundations are overthrown. What has the righteous done?4The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD's throne is in the heavens; his eyes see, his eyelids test the children of man.5The LORD is righteous; he tests the wicked, and the one who loves violence; his soul hates him.6He rains down snares, fire, and brimstone upon the wicked, and a scorching wind is the portion of their cup.7For the LORD, who is righteous, loves righteousness; the upright shall behold his face.
