In the Lord my heart takes refuge In the Lord, when evil men Have set their hearts against me And shoot me from the shadows What else should a righteous man do
For look, the evil ones Have bent their bows against me They set their arrows so close against the string To shoot the upright heart And shake all our foundations This is why you tell me to flee
But the Lord hates the evil and the violence His eye has seen the hearts of sons of man And on the evil one, He will rain a fire A burning wind will come to them
The Lord is in His holy temple The Lord is on His heavenly throne For the Lord is just, the Lord he is righteous His chosen ones shall see his face
