| 1 | To the overseer; of David. In Jehovah I put my trust: how will ye say to my soul, Wander ye to your mountain, little 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 unjust will bend the bow, they prepared their arrow upon the cord, they will shoot in darkness the upright of 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 | If the pillars shall be pulled down, what did the just one? | if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” | When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?” | |
| 4 | Jehovah is in his holy temple; Jehovah, in the heavens his throne: his eyes will behold, his eyelashes will try the sons of man. | 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 | Jehovah will try the just one: and the unjust and him loving violence, his soul 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 will rain upon the, unjust, snares, fire and brimstone, and a wind of violent heat: 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 Jehovah the just loved justice; his face will behold 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. | |
