Confidence in the LORD
1I trust in the LORD for safety. How foolish of you to say to me, “Fly away like a bird to the mountains,
2because the wicked have drawn their bows and aimed their arrows to shoot from the shadows at good people.
3There is nothing a good person can do when everything falls apart.”
4The LORD is in his holy temple; he has his throne in heaven. He watches people everywhere and knows what they are doing.
5He examines the good and the wicked alike; the lawless he hates with all his heart.
6He sends down flaming coals and burning sulfur on the wicked; he punishes them with scorching winds.
7The LORD is righteous and loves good deeds; those who do them will live in his presence.
