1 In the LORD put I my trust: how say you to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2 For, see, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow on the string, that they may privately shoot at the upright in heart.
3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD' throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5 The LORD tries the righteous: but the wicked and him that loves violence his soul hates.
6 On the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the righteous LORD loves righteousness; his countenance does behold the upright.
1 In Jehovah I put my trust; how can you say to my soul, Flee like a bird to the mountains?
2 For lo, the wicked bend their bow; they make ready their arrow on the string, so that they may secretly shoot at the upright in heart.
3 If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4 Jehovah is in His holy temple; Jehovahs throne is in Heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids examine the sons of men.
5 Jehovah tries the righteous; but His soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.
6 Upon the wicked He will rain snares, fire and brimstone; and a horrible tempest shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the righteous Jehovah loves righteousness; His face beholds the upright.
