1 [To the chief Musician. {A Psalm} of David.] In Jehovah have I put my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee {as} a bird to your mountain?

2 For behold, the wicked bend the bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may in darkness shoot at the upright in heart.

3 If the foundations be destroyed, what shall the righteous do?

4 Jehovah {is} in the temple of his holiness; Jehovah, -his throne is in the heavens: his eyes behold, his eyelids try the children of men.

5 Jehovah trieth the righteous one; but the wicked, and him that loveth violence, his soul hateth.

6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone; and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

7 For righteous is Jehovah; he loveth righteousness, his countenance doth behold the upright.

1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִד בַּיהוָה ׀ חָסִיתִי אֵיךְ תֹּאמְרוּ לְנַפְשִׁי [נוּדוּ כ] (נוּדִי ק) הַרְכֶם צִפֹּור׃

2 כִּי הִנֵּה הָרְשָׁעִים יִדְרְכוּן קֶשֶׁת כֹּונְנוּ חִצָּם עַל־יֶתֶר לִירֹות בְּמֹו־אֹפֶל לְיִשְׁרֵי־לֵב׃

3 כִּי הַשָּׁתֹות יֵהָרֵסוּן צַדִּיק מַה־פָּעָל׃

4 יְהוָה ׀ בְּהֵיכַל קָדְשֹׁו יְהוָה בַּשָּׁמַיִם כִּסְאֹו עֵינָיו יֶחֱזוּ עַפְעַפָּיו יִבְחֲנוּ בְּנֵי אָדָם׃

5 יְהוָה צַדִּיק יִבְחָן וְרָשָׁע וְאֹהֵב חָמָס שָׂנְאָה נַפְשֹׁו׃

6 יַמְטֵר עַל־רְשָׁעִים פַּחִים אֵשׁ וְגָפְרִית וְרוּחַ זִלְעָפֹות מְנָת כֹּוסָם׃

7 כִּי־צַדִּיק יְהוָה צְדָקֹות אָהֵב יָשָׁר יֶחֱזוּ פָנֵימֹו׃
