1[[To the Heavenly Worship Leader, [A Psalm (sacred song about or to God)] of David [Beloved].]] In the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] put I my trust: how say you^2f to my soul, Flee [as] a bird to your mountain?

2For, lo, the wicked bend [their] bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may secretly shoot at the upright in heart.

3If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

4The LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] [is] in his holy temple, the LORD-Yehovah’s [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] throne [is] in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

5The LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] tries the righteous: but the wicked and him that loves violence his soul hates.

6Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and sulfur, and an horrible tempest: [this shall be] the portion of their cup.

7For the righteous LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] loves righteousness; his Countenance (Face, appearance; show favor) does behold the upright.
