1For the choirmaster. Of David. In the LORD I take refuge. How then can you say to me: “Flee like a bird to your 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”?To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. In Jehovah do I take refuge: How say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain;2For behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrow on the string to shoot from the shadows at 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.For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.For, lo, the wicked bend the bow, They make ready their arrow upon the string, That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart;3If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?If the foundations be destroyed, What can the righteous do?4The LORD is in His holy temple; the LORD is on His heavenly throne. His eyes are watching closely; they examine the sons 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 is in his holy temple, the Lord’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.Jehovah is in his holy temple; Jehovah, his throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.5The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked; His soul hates the lover of violence.Yahweh examines the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and him who loves violence.The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.Jehovah trieth the righteous; But the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.6On the wicked He will rain down fiery coals and sulfur; a scorching wind will be their portion.On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.Upon the wicked he will rain snares; Fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.7For the LORD is righteous; He loves justice. The upright will see His face.For Yahweh is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.For Jehovah is righteous; he loveth righteousness: The upright shall behold his face.
