To the chief Musician[H5329], A Psalm of David[H1732]. In the LORD[H3068] put I my trust[H2620]: how say[H559] ye to my soul[H5315], Flee[H5110] as a bird[H6833] to your mountain?[H2022]
2
For, lo, the wicked[H7563]bend[H1869] their bow[H7198], they make ready[H3559] their arrow[H2671] upon the string[H3499], that they may privily[H652]shoot[H3384] at the upright[H3477] in heart[H3820].
3
If the foundations[H8356] be destroyed[H2040], what can the righteous[H6662]do?[H6466]
4
The LORD[H3068] is in his holy[H6944]temple[H1964], the LORD[H3068]'S throne[H3678] is in heaven[H8064]: his eyes[H5869]behold[H2372], his eyelids[H6079]try[H974], the children[H1121] of men[H120].
5
The LORD[H3068]trieth[H974] the righteous[H6662]: but the wicked[H7563] and him that loveth[H157]violence[H2555] his soul[H5315]hateth[H8130].
6
Upon the wicked[H7563] he shall rain[H4305]snares[H6341], fire[H784] and brimstone[H1614], and an horrible[H2152]tempest[H7307]: this shall be the portion[H4521] of their cup[H3563].
7
For the righteous[H6662]LORD[H3068]loveth[H157]righteousness[H6666]; his countenance[H6440] doth behold[H2372] the upright[H3477].
