Psalms

Refuge in the Lord

11  I have taken refuge in the Lord. How can you say to me,“Escape to the mountain like a bird! A, 2† For look, the wicked string the bow;they put the B arrow on the bowstringto shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart. 3† When the foundations are destroyed,what can the righteous do? ” 

4† The Lord is in His holy temple; the Lord’s throne is in heaven. His eyes watch; He examines C •everyone.5 The Lord examines the righteous and the wicked.He hates the lover of violence. 6† He will rain burning coals  and sulfur on the wicked;a scorching wind will be their portion. D, 7† For the Lord is righteous; He loves righteous deeds.The upright will see His face.
