¹ 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; ² 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; ³ If the foundations be destroyed, What can the righteous do? ⁴ Jehovah is in his holy temple; Jehovah, his throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men. ⁵ Jehovah trieth the righteous; But the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. ⁶ Upon the wicked he will rain snares; Fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup. ⁷ For Jehovah is righteous; He loveth righteousness: The upright shall behold his face.
