(10)
The just fear nothing
If God is with us, who will condemn us? May he deliver us from fear when we face those who threaten and crush others.
1 In the Lord I take refuge.
How, then, can you say to me,
“Flee to the mountains like a bird;
2 for the wicked are bending their bows
and fit their arrows to the string.
They get ready to shoot in the dark,
they take aim at the upright of heart.
3 When foundations fall to ruin,
what can the righteous do?”
4 The Lord is in his holy place –
our God whose throne is in heaven.
He looks down to earth
to observe the race of Adam.
5 The Lord searches both righteous and wicked.
He hates those who delight in violence.
6 Upon the wicked, he will rain
coals of fire and brimstone;
a burning blast will be their lot.
7 For the Lord is righteous;
he loves justice.
The upright will see his face.
