1. I run to the Lord for safety. So how can you say to me, "Fly away like a bird to your mountain.
2. Look! Evil people are bending their bows. They are placing their arrows against the strings. They are planning to shoot from the shadows at those who have honest hearts.
3. When law and order are being destroyed, what can godly people do?"
4. The Lord is in his holy temple. The Lord is on his throne in heaven. He watches all people. His eyes study them.
5. The Lord watches over those who do what is right. But he hates sinful people and those who love to hurt others.
6. He will pour out flaming coals and burning sulfur on those who do what is wrong. A hot and dry wind will destroy them.
