I have taken refuge in the LORD.
How can you say to me,
“Escape to the mountains like a bird!
2 For look, the wicked string bows;
they put their arrows on bowstrings
to 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—his throne is in heaven.
His eyes watch;
his gaze examines everyone.
5 The LORD examines the righteous,
but he hates the wicked
and those who love violence.
6 Let him rain burning coals and sulfur on the wicked;
let a scorching wind be the portion in their cup.
7 For the LORD is righteous; he loves righteous deeds.
The upright will see his face.
-- Psalms 11:1-7 (CSB)
