• Faith in the Lord’s Righteousness

  • 1 In the Lord I put my trust; How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain”?
  • 2 For look! The wicked bend their bow, They make ready their arrow on the string, That they may shoot secretly at the upright in heart.
  • 3 If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?
  • 4 The Lord is in His holy temple, The Lord’s throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men.
  • 5 The Lord tests the righteous, But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.
  • 6 Upon the wicked He will rain coals; Fire and brimstone and a burning wind Shall be the portion of their cup.
  • 7 For the Lord is righteous, He loves righteousness; His countenance beholds the upright.
