David's struggle with, and triumph over a strong temptation to distrust God, and betake himself to indirect means for his own safety, in a time of danger

«For the chief music-maker. Of David.» In the Lord put I my faith; how will you say to my soul, Go in flight like a bird to the mountain? For the Chief Musician. By David. In Yahweh, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain!”
See, the bows of the evil-doers are bent, they make ready their arrows on the cord, so that they may send them secretly against the upright in heart. For, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
If the bases are broken down, what is the upright man to do? If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?
The Lord is in his holy Temple, the Lord's seat is in heaven; his eyes are watching and testing the children of men. Yahweh is in his holy temple. Yahweh is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.
The Lord puts the upright and the sinner to the test, but he has hate in his soul for the lover of violent acts. Yahweh examines the righteous, but the wicked and him who loves violence his soul hates.
On the evil-doer he will send down fire and flames, and a burning wind; with these will their cup be full. On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
For the Lord is upright; he is a lover of righteousness: the upright will see his face. For Yahweh is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.
