In the Lord, Lord My Heart Takes Refuge Lyrics

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.
