I take refuge in the Lord
Why would I flee His sacred chord?
The wicked aim their arrows true
To strike the upright through and through
Foundations crumble to the ground
What can the righteous souls now found?
The Lord in His holy place
Observes every anxious face
He examines the righteous heart
While the violent fall apart
Raining fire on wicked ways
The upright will see His face
I take refuge in the Lord
Clinging to His steadfast word
No fleeing to the mountains high
Under His wings, I'll reside
He examines the righteous heart
While the violent fall apart
Raining fire on wicked ways
The upright will see His face
A scorching wind their brutal fate
The Lord is just, He'll not be late
His passionate love for justice reigns
Deliverance from evil's chains

A scorching wind their brutal fate
The Lord is just, He'll not be late
His passionate love for justice reigns
Deliverance from evil's chains
He examines the righteous heart
While the violent fall apart
Raining fire on wicked ways
The upright will see His face
