Switch Version:

¹ For the choir director. Of David. [1] I have taken refuge in the LORD. ⓑ How can you say to me, “Escape to the mountains [1] 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 [2] examines everyone. [3]

⁵ The LORD examines the righteous, but he hates the wicked and [4] those who love violence. ⓗ

⁶ Let him rain burning coals [5] 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. ⓙ
