1In Jehovah do I take refuge: How say ye to my soul, Fleeasa bird to your mountain;🔗

2For, lo, the wicked bend the bow, They make ready their arrow upon the string, That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart;🔗

3If the foundations be destroyed, What can the righteous do?🔗

4Jehovah is in his holy temple; Jehovah, his throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.🔗

5Jehovah trieth the righteous; But the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.🔗

6Upon the wicked he will rain snares; Fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.🔗

7For Jehovah is righteous; he loveth righteousness: The upright shall behold his face.🔗
