1 In the LORD have I taken refuge; *

how then can you say to me,

"Fly away like a bird to the hilltop;

2 For see how the wicked bend the bow

and fit their arrows to the string, *

to shoot from ambush at the true of heart.

3 When the foundations are being destroyed, *

what can the righteous do?"

4 The LORD is in his holy temple; *

the LORD'S throne is in heaven.

5 His eyes behold the inhabited world; *

his piercing eye weighs our worth.

6 The LORD weighs the righteous as well as the wicked, *

but those who delight in violence he abhors.

7 Upon the wicked he shall rain coals of fire and burning sulphur; *

a scorching wind shall be their lot.

8 For the LORD is righteous;

he delights in righteous deeds; *

and the just shall see his face. green leaf at end of canticle
