1 TO THE OVERSEER. BY DAVID. In YHWH I trusted, how do you say to my soul, “They moved to your mountain [as] the bird?” In the LORD I take refuge; how can you say to my soul, “Flee like a bird to your mountain, For the director of music. Of David. In the LORD I take refuge. How then can you say to me: “Flee like a bird to your mountain.
2 For behold, the wicked bend a bow, || They have prepared their arrow on the string, || To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart. for behold, the wicked bend the bow; they have fitted their arrow to the string to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart; For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.
3 When the foundations are destroyed, || The righteous—what has he done? if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?”
4 YHWH [is] in His holy temple: YHWH—His throne [is] in the heavens. His eyes see—His eyelids try the sons of men. The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD’s throne is in heaven; his eyes see, his eyelids test the children of man. The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD is on his heavenly throne. He observes everyone on earth; his eyes examine them.
5 YHWH tries the righteous. And the wicked and the lover of violence, || His soul has hated, The LORD tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence. The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence, he hates with a passion.
6 He pours on the wicked snares, fire, and brimstone, || And a horrible wind [is] the portion of their cup. Let him rain coals on the wicked; fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup. On the wicked he will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur; a scorching wind will be their lot.
7 For YHWH [is] righteous, || He has loved righteousness, || His countenance sees the upright! For the LORD is righteous; he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face. For the LORD is righteous, he loves justice; the upright will see his face.
