The Lord Is in His Holy Temple
In Yahweh I have sought refuge. How can you say to my soul, “Flee like a bird to your mountain,”
for, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings to shoot in the darkness at the upright in heart.
When the foundations are destroyed, what can a righteous person do?
Yahweh is in his holy Temple. Yahweh’s throne is in the heavens. His eyes observe. His eyelids put people to the test.
Yahweh puts the righteous person to the test, but his soul hates the wicked person and the one who loves violence.
He will rain down coals upon the wicked; fire and sulfur and scorching wind will be the portion of their cup.
For Yahweh is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright person will see his face.
