This verse sets trust in God against panic-driven counsel.

In context

1For the choirmaster. Of David. 2For behold, the wicked bend their bows. 3If the foundations are destroyed, 4The LORD is in His holy temple; 5The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked; 6On the wicked He will rain down fiery coals and sulfur; 7For the LORD is righteous; He loves justice.
