| 1 | To the Overseer. -- By David. In Jehovah I trusted, how say ye to my soul, 'They moved to Thy mountain for 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 lo, the wicked tread 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 hath he done? | 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 is His throne. 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 | Jehovah the righteous doth try. And the wicked and the lover of violence, Hath 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 poureth 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 righteous is Jehovah, Righteousness He hath loved, The upright doth His countenance see!' | 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. | |
