Psalms

I trust in the LORD for safety. How foolish of you to say to me, "Fly away like a bird to the mountains,

because the wicked have drawn their bows and aimed their arrows to shoot from the shadows at good people.

There is nothing a good person can do when everything falls apart."

The LORD is in his holy temple; he has his throne in heaven. He watches people everywhere and knows what they are doing.

He examines the good and the wicked alike; the lawless he hates with all his heart.

He sends down flaming coals and burning sulfur on the wicked; he punishes them with scorching winds.

The LORD is righteous and loves good deeds; those who do them will live in his presence.
