To the chief Musician{H5329}{(H8764)}, A Psalm of David{H1732}. In the LORD{H3068} put I my trust{H2620}{(H8804)}: how say{H559}{(H8799)} ye to my soul{H5315}, Flee{H5110}{(H8798)} as a bird{H6833} to your mountain{H2022}?

For, lo, the wicked{H7563} bend{H1869}{(H8799)} their bow{H7198}, they make ready{H3559}{(H8790)} their arrow{H2671} upon the string{H3499}, that they may privily{H652}{(H8676)}{H1119} shoot{H3384}{(H8800)} at the upright{H3477} in heart{H3820}.

If the foundations{H8356} be destroyed{H2040}{(H8735)}, what can the righteous{H6662} do{H6466}{(H8804)}?

The LORD{H3068} is in his holy{H6944} temple{H1964}, the LORD'S{H3068} throne{H3678} is in heaven{H8064}: his eyes{H5869} behold{H2372}{(H8799)}, his eyelids{H6079} try{H974}{(H8799)}, the children{H1121} of men{H120}.

The LORD{H3068} trieth{H974}{(H8799)} the righteous{H6662}: but the wicked{H7563} and him that loveth{H157}{(H8802)} violence{H2555} his soul{H5315} hateth{H8130}{(H8804)}.

Upon the wicked{H7563} he shall rain{H4305}{(H8686)} snares{H6341}, fire{H784} and brimstone{H1614}, and an horrible{H2152} tempest{H7307}: this shall be the portion{H4521} of their cup{H3563}.

For the righteous{H6662} LORD{H3068} loveth{H157}{(H8804)} righteousness{H6666}; his countenance{H6440} doth behold{H2372}{(H8799)} the upright{H3477}.
