1.The LORD is my refuge, how then can you say,
“O flee like a bird to your mountain away.
The godless take aim with their bow and their dart,
like snipers they shoot at the upright in heart.
2.“When evil prevails, they foundations remove;
O what then, O what then, can righteous men do?”
Be sure that the LORD in his temple on high,
in heaven enthroned, over men casts his eye.
3.The LORD looks on man with his all-searching eyes;
his eyelids observe, and their conduct he tries.
The LORD tests the righteous who walk in his ways;
his soul hates the wicked, who terror embrace.
4.The LORD will send judgment and pour out hot coals;
o’er all the ungodly his scorching wind rolls.
The LORD, ever righteous, his justice portrays;
by grace all the upright will look on his face.
