1 In Jehovah have I put my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee [as] a bird to your mountain?
1 In the Lord put I my faith; how will you say to my soul, Go in flight like a bird to the mountain?
1Unto the end: for the octave, a psalm for David.
1In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2 For behold, the wicked bend the bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may in darkness shoot at the upright in heart.
2See, 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.
2Save me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: truths are decayed from among the children of men.
2For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
3 If the foundations be destroyed, what shall the righteous do?
3If the bases are broken down, what is the upright man to do?
3They have spoken vain things, every one to his neighbour: with deceitful lips, and with a double heart have they spoken.
3If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4 Jehovah [is] in the temple of his holiness; Jehovah, — his throne is in the heavens: his eyes behold, his eyelids try the children of men.
4The Lord is in his holy Temple, the Lord's seat is in heaven; his eyes are watching and testing the children of men.
4May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things.
4The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5 Jehovah trieth the righteous one; but the wicked, and him that loveth violence, his soul hateth.
5The Lord puts the upright and the sinner to the test, but he has hate in his soul for the lover of violent acts.
5Who have said: We will magnify our tongue: our lips are our own: who is Lord over us?
5The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone; and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
6On the evil-doer he will send down fire and flames, and a burning wind; with these will their cup be full.
6By reason of the misery of the needy, and the groans of the poor, now will I arise, saith the Lord. I will set him in safety: I will deal confidently in his regard.
6Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For righteous is Jehovah; he loveth righteousness, his countenance doth behold the upright.
7For the Lord is upright; he is a lover of righteousness: the upright will see his face.
7The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried by the fire, purged from the earth, refined seven times.
7For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
