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
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
