1. For the music director, a psalm of David. In Adonai I have taken shelter. How can you say to my soul: “Fly like a bird to your mountain?
2. For look, the wicked bend the bow. They fix their arrow on the bowstring so they can shoot from the shadows at those who are upright in heart.
3. If our foundations are destroyed, what should the righteous do?”
4. Adonai is in His holy Temple. Adonai’s throne is in heaven. His eyes are watching. His eyelids observe the children of men.
5. Adonai examines the righteous. But the wicked and one loving violence His soul hates.
