In the LORD I take refuge;

How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain?

They have [fn]set their arrow on the string

To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

What can the righteous do?”

Psa 11:4

The LORD is in His holy temple; the [fn]LORD’S throne is in heaven;

His eyes see, His eyelids test the sons of mankind.

The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked,

And His soul hates one who loves violence.

He will rain [fn]coals of fire upon the wicked,

And brimstone and burning wind will be the portion of their cup.

For the LORD is righteous, He loves [fn]righteousness;

The upright will see His face.
