In the Lord I put my trust.
How then can you say to me:
"Fearing like a bird in danger
To your mountain you must flee?"

"For the wicked in the shadow
Bends his bow and sets his arrow.
Secretly he points his dart
Aimed upon the upright heart."

"If foundations are destroyed
What can you do who loves the Lord?"

2. But the Lord is in His temple;
He is on His heavenly throne.
He observes the sons of men,
Tests the righteous and the wrong.

And the wicked He despises;
On the violent justice rises.
Out of wrath His hot winds blow,
Burning sulfur, fiery coals.

For the Lord loves righteousness.
Grants to the just His countenance.

3. When foundations are destroyed,
Will you hear these doubt-filled words:
"What can you the righteous do
When such wickedness is stirred?"

But the Lord All-seeing reigns
Watching all that He disdains.
Those in Christ stand justified;
Christ for us has lived and died.

And before His knowing sight,
God will judge the world aright.
