¹ In the LORD I take refuge; how can you say to my soul, ⓐ“Flee like a bird to your mountain,

² for behold, the wickedⓑ bend the bow; ⓒthey have fitted their arrow to the string to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart;

³ ifⓓ the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”[1]

⁴ ⓔ The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD'sⓕ throne is in heaven; his eyes see, his eyelidsⓖ test the children of man.

⁵ The LORDⓗ tests the righteous, butⓘ his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.

⁶ Let him rain coals on the wicked; ⓙfire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall beⓚ the portion of their cup.

⁷ For the LORD is righteous; heⓛ loves righteous deeds; ⓜthe upright shall behold his face.
