How can you say to me, |Flee to a mountain like a 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 look, the wicked prepare their bows, they put their arrows on the strings, to shoot in the darkness at the morally upright. | 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, what can the godly accomplish?| | if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” | When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?” | |

His eyes watch; his eyes examine all people. | 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.

| 6 | May the LORD rain down burning coals and brimstone on the wicked! A whirlwind is what they deserve! | 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 | Certainly the LORD is just; he rewards godly deeds; the upright will experience his favor. | 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. | |
