The Lord Is In His Holy Temple - Psalm 11: 1-7

Where can I rake refuge to be safe? in the Lord God, Himself is the safe place all other counsel is of no account one must go to God's holy face Beware of the wicked and their scheme so be like that bird up in that mountain for the enemy fits their arrow at you to shoot in darkness to remove your fountain What happens when the foundations fall the righteous are perplexed about this but the Lord is in His holy temple He sees as testing men nothing to miss The righteous feel the test of life under the Lord's hand to prove their worth the wicked face God's holy wrath raining coals upon them from their earth The Lord loves righteous deeds being the God of righteousness divine so those of an upright heart indeed shall see God's face a sure heavenly sign (In the Lord I take refuge; how can you say to my soul, “Flee like a bird to your mountain, for behold, the wicked bend the bow; they have fitted their arrow to the string to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart; if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord's throne is in heaven; his eyes see, his eyelids test the children of man. The Lord tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence. Let him rain coals on the wicked; fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup. For the Lord is righteous; he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face.) Psalm 11: 1-7(ESV)
