1. The Lord is my fortress!Don't say to me,“Escape like a birdto the mountains!”
2. You tell me, “Watch out!Those evil people have puttheir arrows on their bows,and they are standingin the shadows,aiming at good people.
3. What can an honest person dowhen everything crumbles?”
4. The Lord is sittingin his sacred templeon his throne in heaven.He knows everything we dobecause he sees us all.
5. The Lord tests honest people,but despises thosewho are crueland love violence.
6. He will send fiery coalsand flaming sulphurdown on the wicked,and they will drink nothingbut a scorching wind.
7. The Lord always does rightand wants justice done.Everyone who does rightwill see his face.
