1In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
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?
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.
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.
3If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
3 If the foundations be destroyed, what shall the righteous do?
3If the bases are broken down, what is the upright man to do?
4The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
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.
5The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
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.
6Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
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.
