1 I trust the Lord for safety; how can I run away or seek my refuge in the hills like birds at close of day? 2 But enemies attack me; they shoot to pierce my heart; how can I stay in safety here when goodness falls apart? 3 The Lord is in his temple; on high his mighty throne; his eyes watch over us in love, to him our ways are known. 4 The Lord is true and faithful, he guards us by his grace, and all who trust his righteousness shall live to see his face.
